What is an EduProtocol?
EduProtocols are reusable instructional lesson frames that are designed to engage students in learning through critical thinking, collaboration, communication, and creativity. While the content of your lessons will change, the workflow of each EduProtocol stays the same, allowing students to understand the process in order to stay focused on the learning of the content.
There are currently dozens of EduProtocols whichare described in the three EduProtocol Field Guides available for purchase:

What are Thin Slides?
For a Thin Slide, students are provided a word and each student completes a slide with the word, a definition, and a picture. A time constraint of 3 minutes is used to create a sense of urgency and productivity. Students are given about 5-10 seconds to share and “whip around” the classroom.
After a while, we started using them for study guides. The Thin Slide Study Guide replaced the need for flash cards created individually by students. Crowdsourcing the information created collaboration among students.
Thin Slides literally have no teacher prep. Share a slide deck, students grab a slide, and 3 minutes later, you are sharing!
