in class
Earlier this week, I asked students to log in and post lists, in groups, of what they expect from a good communicator. Then, they had to respond to someone else in class. They had all posed ideas and commented on ideas before we even began class discussion, which was a great way to get discussion started. They enjoyed this activity and they were interested to see who had said what (since they don't know aliases yet). Worked well.
