  • Group class members in pairs or triads to aide different ability levels 

Classroom Considerations

  • As warned in the lesson, some links have changed 
  • Participants require a digital learning device and copies of worksheets 

Pros

  • Includes an extra video to extend the learning experience 
  • Encourages following directions 

Cons
