Communications Ch1?
«

Does anyone have any helpful tips for teaching and learning in Communications Ch1? We only really got through the first 2 activities at the last training. Activity 4 looks crazy; is there any way around it? Any other activities we can substitute? Also, does anyone have any videos of their kids doing the challenge that I could use as examples for my kids? I would appreciate any helpful tips anyone has for the chapter.
Thanks,
Lauren

Lauren,
Activity 4: Making sounds electronically is cool when you do it, but it is definitely one you can pass on. You may have a few students who want to try it and can share with the class.
I don't have any videos right now.
