7. What teaching methodology did you use?

What teaching methodology did you use?   I ran the activity using only one computer and an LCD projector. Students used computers on their own without any LCD projector used during the lesson. A mixture of individual (or small group) use of computers and some discussion using the LCD projector was used. Students did the activity as homework on their own. Students did the activity as homework, and we discussed the activity using the LCD projector in class. Only the DVD was used.
