Click through and listen to this teacher on using presentations to asses student learning. He lays out perfectly what a valuable use of class time presentations can be if they teacher is working hard to make them valuable. I particularly love that he is going to the groups and telling them ahead of time what his questions will be. This makes the kids feel empowered and motivated to learn.
