Very easy for the

students to work

and share their

worker with the

other teams

efficiently and

effectively

Change in pedagogy

_____ lively and interactive

______ able to walk around the

entire classroom, checking

work and instructing

my relations with students is

closer than it used to be

Change in pedagogyStudents do close-text analysis on

whiteboard. I now tend to use more

multimedia texts in class. Students are

more engaged and often search websites

for more information on concepts,

cultural phenomena, text references

which I am discussing with them, adding

to the class’ repertoire of knowledge.

Change in pedagogy

Yes, quite a lot. Class discussion is

immensely enriched by seating

arrangement. Glass boards allow me

to give them tasks for group and

individual participation and students

take pictures of class work and

sometimes post them on Facebook.
