Engaging Students In A BIG Way

Rob Olazagasti makes learning "Larger Than Life" in this video highlighted on Edutopia's Website.  During the video, ask yourself these three questions:
  1. Are the students engaged?  
  2. What instructional strategy did Mr. Olazagasti use in this lesson?  Was it effective?
  3. Do you think assessing students in this way provides a better understanding of what students truly know rather than a traditional quiz or multiple choice test?
