DLL 4 Assignments, Exercises and Interactions

Course Description

The overall goal of this course is for teachers to learn to differentiate between good assignments and exercises and create sequences of activities that build upon each other.  Teachers will understand their role in the interaction process.

The Practical Exploration Project initiates changes in the classroom and helps to increase the professionalism of teachers.
