654 Ideas
December 9th, 2009
So the class is about 50 people, which is an awkward size. Too big for good rich discussion, too small for pure lecture. I am trying to come up with some activities, so the students can get involved. I am thinking one activity for each section of the class. Between these activities I hope to have everyone in the class do something.
Here are the couple things I have so far:
- Privacy on the Internet – Debate – Have two teams of three students debate something like the St. Pete Times/TampaBay.com’s mugshot database (see here: http://mugshots.tampabay.com/)
- Changes in Journalism – Have teams of students pitch new ideas on how to monetize news on the Internet
I am also working on coming up with guest lectures. If anyone has any ideas let me know.
