Let's dive into this week's tastiness from the web:




The Big List of Classroom Discussion Strategies by Jennifer Gonzalez (featured on her blog Cult of Pedagogy) is broken up into 3 categories ranging from high-prep to low-prep techniques.

Have you ever found yourself asking "What If"? Jennifer from The Compelled Educator, poses some excellent "What if" questions. Take a look.
