6 Ways to Use Speed Dating in Your Classroom

But what if you could engage students in something new? The speed dating protocol can be modified in many ways for a wide range of classrooms: the teacher can manipulate the duration and number of the conversations, the physical layout of the room, the delivery system for the prompts, and, of course, the prompts themselves.
