Discussion on my idea:
Group size seems large – Break down
What about large year sizes
Not a choice. Reduce coverage of synchronous content. Boost asynchronous. Make synchronous the most impactful it can be even if shorter.
Increase opportunities for later follow up and discussion.
Letting people prepare for sessions – pre-tasks
Necessary emotionally, not just practically
Disclosure
Separation needed? Maybe wrong word, you engage and address don’t separate
Criticality
Discussed how there are hidden messages everywhere for some students that belie the call to think and express yourself critically
Lots of things actually imply that you need to be a particular type of student to succeed
Make sure that giving over choice to room doesn’t perpetuate power dynamics
For example, we discussed the story most people had seen
Giving choice over to them needs to be managed
How? Pre-task again. Gather in advance. Then ask them to choose.
Everyone has power
Also, if you’re getting people to bust their ideas open maybe this can’t be all at once?
You need to give them areas to research about and be knowledgeable about to feel safe.
I’d given them stuff to be expert about but maybe not enough. The choice was there’s but we were still doing my task.
Maybe they need to say what a story is, before you add or challenge?
Neverending disruption will be hard to take
