PMI Chart
Worked in groups of two and looked at eight projects (like a jigsaw). Post-it notes to each member of pair to write ideas for PMI Chart (PLUS--Two Stars or Kudos), MINUS (One wish to consider) and Interesting (Memorable/Curious). Watched presentations on laptop with splitters for the headsets. Good for peer editing, jigsaw content, demonstrate concept in training, show new technologies to teachers (many ways to accomplish same task), estblishing standard of work--raise the bar.
