Description

Rachael Tatman offers practical introduction to incorporating Jupyter notebooks into the classroom using active learning techniques in line with the gradual release of responsibility instructional model (also known as the I Do, We Do, You Do model)—a pedagogical technique developed by Pearson and Gallagher in which students engage with material more independently over time. You’ll complete a series of exercises designed to help you use Jupyter notebooks to more effectively support active learning in the classroom.
