Usecases
Didactic guidelines
Think ahead for specific lesson plans to make optimal use of the rooms and their equipment. Have a look at small group tasks for group work and relate it to different types of small groups.
It is important to ensure that group work has a positive effect on learning. If taks are improperly introduced or supervised, it can also have a negative effect. In particular, attention must be given to the fact that all students must contribute. Explicate for example different group roles that students could fulfill or establish group ground rules.

Ideas for use
Below we list some tasks in which the technology can be incorporated purposefully.
Make decisions together
Set up tasks for groups to make decisions. Display and work on decision trees or valorisation tables.
Team Based Learning
Use the rooms to put the Teams of team based learning on a table and use the display to let the group work on the problems
Solve (statistical or mathematical) problems, share solutions and strategies
The teacher distributes data and analysis questions for statistical problems. Students work with the data.
Simulations, insert competition elements. Who has the quick fix of a problem? BLOK. Does everyone agree it's a good solution? Moving on to the next problem
The teacher could incorporate competition element: which grous comes up with the most effective solution method.
Develop infographics of an article
The teacher distributes articles that students must read perusal. The group of students then need to develop an infographic using collaboration tools. The groups work directly on their common screen using their own laptops with.
Share historical art sources
Search the internet for historical art sources for interpretations purposes.
Search geographical information systems data
Search area's with similar of different geographical properties.
Case discussion
Distribute different cases on different tables; Students can choose which case appeals to them and join that team. Cases are discussed amongst each other, while displaying for example a Concept Map or Document on the group screen. At the end of the session the teacher invites group member to present in plenary for all groups.
Develop test questions
Have students make their own test questions for sub-topics (and take each other's tests).
Online games
Develop online games, for example by using Mentimeter
Support creativity sessions
Make use of the screen to share ideas in multiple formats. For example using Padlet, a wiki, concept diagram software. For some exampels, see this website.
