Welcome to the very first #SmarterLectureProject post that’s not about a lecturing technique at all. Instead, we’re going to be discussing one of the many ways to not lecture.

This is about a method where students will spend most of their time talking, moving around, hunched over tables in terrible sitting postures, moving furniture, creating ghastly screeching noises… with a healthy dose of confusion, complaining and grumbling.

You know? Having fun. Being active.

And although it’ll take at least half a session, it’s going to be worth every second of everyone’s time since students are going to learn in many ways that are precluded by the very idea of a lecture:

By self study

From peers

By teaching peers

From personal experience

By doing a mini-project

By Googling

By taking a quiz
