Navigator Keeps hands off computer Reviews the Code Identifies potential errors Proposes ideas or suggestions Completes wiring of external devices Documents in Design Journal/ Engineers notebook
Creating Norms With the people sitting around you discuss the following: What type of norms do you need to keep in mind? What makes a good pair programming team?
Creating Teams How do you break a class into groups of two? What if you have an odd number of students? What are some effective ways to create successful teams? (high flyer vs. low flyer)
Timing How often do you rotate? Balanced work load
Facilitation As a facilitator what does it look like? What type of questions do you pose? What is your role as a facilitator?
