Gallery Walk

Back | Page 1 of 1 | Next: Closing Ceremony

Introduction

In this activity, you will create a short presentation to share your T2T collaboration stories. Once finished, we will share our presentations with other participants in the form of a Gallery Walk.

Task

Create a 7–10 slide PowerPoint presentation that describes your collaboration work this year. Use your Gallery Walk Storyboard to guide your work. Your presentation should provide details about:

  • Your collaboration.
  • Your collaborating teachers.
  • The steps you took to help them infuse DLC tools and/or resources into their classrooms.

You should provide enough details so that other participants will be able to reflect on and learn from your experience.

The Gallery Walk

A Gallery Walk works just like the name suggests; participants will have the opportunity to view a gallery of works, in this case works created by peers. Take notes and leave Wows or Wonders sticky notes for participants as you view each of the presentations.

Reflection

  1. View the Wows or Wonders you received from others.
  2. Participate in a silent Chalk Talk Reflection Protocol to reflect on:
    • Insights you gained as a result of the T2T Collaboration Project.
    • Areas of growth that remain for you as a T2T leader.

Chalk Talk Protocol directions:*

  1. Write your responses to the question in silence.
  2. You can add to other's responses by:
    • Circling existing text (from someone else) that you find interesting or compelling. You may want to write a note that expands on why you find it interesting.
    • Connecting two ideas that seem related by drawing a line between them. If you think ideas might be related, but you aren't sure, link them with a line and then put a question mark on the line.
    • Circling some text you have a question about and then writing the question next to that idea.
  3. Conclude the activity by stepping back to view all of the comments to both prompts.
