Choice
A simple, powerful, but often overlooked activity: the choice activity.
I often use straw polls in my class to stimulate thinking. For example: If I light a candle in space what shape will the flame take? It then display a list of choices on the interactive white board. Take a vote on each choice, and spend time discussing each answer.
What are the benefits of converting such a simple activity over to Moodle? Here are just a few:
It makes it easier to record which student makes which choice: voting in straw polls can be either anonymous or named
Choices can be updated, allowing students to change their mind if they are given a little time to think about their answer
It is easy to see which students didn't answer the question at all
So how do I go about converting my candle question over to Moodle?
