Teaching Tidbits 20: Facilitating Discussion

In today's teaching tidbit episode, Jen talks about ways to facilitate discussion. She suggests alternate types of discussions and ways to reduce the pressure of sharing ideas aloud in class. She mentions programs like <a href='https://nearpod.com/'>Nearpod</a>, <a href='https://info.flipgrid.com/'>Flipgrid</a>, and <a href='https://www.schoology.com/'>Schoology</a> that can offer new ways for students to share ideas, both ahead of class and in the moment.
