Teamwork
What qualities make a great team? Are your teams together in the same physical location? Are you working at home? Does one factor make a team more or less valuable? In this Luma Learning Strategy we will focus on the socratic dialogue strategy to discuss these questions about teamwork.

Interaction Types
For decades there has been discussions of interaction types in education. (Anderson, 2003) Most interaction types observed in driver training traditionally are learner to instructor or learner to content. Moreover, most interaction time with driver training and orientation is synchronous or at the same time. This Learning Strategy is going to help you think about ways you can hold training without a physical classroom.

They can meet in their own LumaLive meeting space.- Set down conversation guidelines like 1) refer to each other by name, 2) participate by building on conversations, 3) participate often with comments and reactions to ideas of others, 4) don’t dominate the stage, 5) feel free to disagree, but don’t be disagreeable, and 6) wait your turn.
- Remind students there are no right or wrong answers.
- Have each group come up with a team leader that will take notes and a team name.
Have each group come up with a team leader that will take notes and a team name.- Text or email each group the Socratic Dialogue Discussion Cards. Feel free to assign different groups with different discussion questions.
