Or, the facilitator can ask if someone else in the whole group has found a solution to the same or a similar problem. The facilitator asks for a volunteer from each group to learn how to convert the images taken with the digital cameras. These volunteers attend a 10-minute training session and then return to the group to show them how to convert the digital camera images using the image conversion software. Once the presentations are finished, the facilitator asks each team to name and save their presentation to their diskette. Have them add the feature to their slide show that will make the slide show run automatically.
Participants walk around the room and look at each other's slide show presentations.
One person from each group remains with their slide show to offer explanations of how they created it. The facilitator leads the closing whole-group discussion with the following 6 questions. Participants' responses are recorded on chart paper. Participants might note that the present session used direct instruction, small group exploration, and product development. The activities included very little direct instruction.
