Coaching Tip for January 2008

Encourage Online Practice

This AGLOA web site now provides online practice for Presidents and Propaganda. (Use the Online Learning link on the welcome page.) Encourage students to take advantage of these resources, particularly in the last days before a tournament.

• You can bring the team to a computer lab in the school and have them log on individually (or in pairs if they prefer) and practice using the questions on the web site. This provides a change of pace from your regular practices.
• If students practice at home, have them print out the summary screen that is displayed when they quit. They can submit this printout to you as evidence of their home practice. If you have a lettering system, they can get points for the number of questions answered correctly.
