Alien Pedagogy

During our semester review, the Debate Team had a lot to say.

Over two weeks, we categorized three made main categories and then broke into groups designed to work towards meeting those goals. I assigned each group a leader and the other students volunteered to join a category group, which worked very smoothly. Two students volunteered to monitor our Moodle site. After that, we had a team for: Background Knowledge/ Resolutions, Competition, and for Skills.

I asked each group to follow this process:

• Create a Vision / Mission (5 minutes)
• Brainstorm Potential Actions (5 minutes)
• Consider Logistics and Reality as well as how this would happen using Moodle (10 minutes)

On the whole, the groups made solid plans that are realistic.

Still, I was a little disappointed to see myself so rapidly becoming obsolete in their development.
