Three Great Icebreakers for College Courses
Syllabus Quiz
Create a quiz on your syllabus (ex. “The first assignment is due on _____” or “The final exam counts as ___% of my final grade”). Have students work in pairs or small groups to answer the questions. You can then review the questions as a large group or just ask students if they have questions about the syllabus. (Harrington Instructor’s Manual, 5)

Plagiarism and Cheating
Students need help understanding these concepts. Have students pair up and come up with their own definition of these terms and then have them identify examples of each. The examples can be shared and discussed with the entire class. Students can compare their definitions to those described in the book. (Harrington Instructor’s Manual, 9)

Class Summaries
At several points throughout the class (every 15-30 minutes), stop and ask students to write a brief summary of what they learned so far. Do not allow them to use any course materials—it is a retrieval exercise. They can then share this with a partner. Give students an opportunity to ask questions about concepts that are not clear. Discuss how students can build in these mini-reviews into their routine as they read and study at home. (Harrington Instructor’s Manual, 28-29)

| Aloha everyone! |
As an Educational Specialist at the Center for Teaching Excellence, I'm excited about the introduction of this blog to our University of Hawai'i community. I have lots of great ideas to keep you up-to-date with technology in education, plus I'll be offering lots of Tips & Tricks, a little bit of advice, and a place for you to comment on topics, request help or assist others who may need some guidance. Your thoughts and ideas are encouraged!
I look forward to presenting up-and-coming sessions and workshops on campus. You can check our calendar here.
Please don't hesitate to email me if you'd like to see a particular topic addressed. Some of the topics I plan to cover will be Google Education, Gmail Tips & Tricks, Google Forms, Google Sites, Google Search, Google Docs (collaborative) Twitter, plagiarism, information literacy, copyright guidelines, and iPad related topics + much more!
suzy :)
