This talk
Demonstrate pedagogy based on student devices Examples from real classes
Please participate!
Pedagogical goals Active learning
Have students do something in class Achieve specific learning goals
Classroom Assessment Determine level of understanding to adjust
material Inclusion of student materials into
discussion Diversity of ideas Examples to illustrate points Discussion of misconceptions
Examples Minimum cut example
Example to engage students Topological search
Discovery UI Choices and criteria
Brainstorming Criteria identification
Handwriting recognition Challenge problem Involve students
Introduce Problem with a concrete example
Fully understand problem definition
Discover aspects of the problem, gain intuition
Appreciate the difficulty of the problem
Become engage with the problem
Minimum value cut

Partition the vertices into disjoint sets A and B, with s in A and t in B to minimize the edge values from A to B
Use an example to make a pedagogical point
Have all students think about the example
Use student responses in the discussion
Topological Numbering Given a set of tasks with precedence
constraints, find a linear order of the tasks
Number tasks from 1 to n, such that if there is an edge from a to b, a has a smaller number than b

Discovery activity Activity was to make a specific point – if
a graph has a cycle, then there is no topological order
Deception was present Problem was stated asking students to find
something that wasn’t there Ah-ha moment
“I have never understood this before – but it is obvious”
Important to have all students work on this example
Exploratory example, follow up question Linked activities –
Exploratory activity to get students to think about the range of pen based user interfaces
Evaluation question Engage students in the problem area Generate different options Allow a question to answered with a
specific context
Challenge problem
Example to have student think about issues of handwriting recognition Main point is to show how it is hard Students work simultaneously Competition in getting the answers
right
Invitation
We are interested in finding additional deployments of Classroom Presenter Especially in disciplines other the
Computer Science, and at range of institution types
Contact us if interested Richard Anderson [email protected]
Issues Wireless in the Classroom
Still challenges associated with this Our solution has been to use ad hoc
networking which works well (for us) Different style of teaching
Requires an interactive instructor Shift in teaching paradigm More work (?)
