## Facilitation Guidelines
41+
42+
- Each module should be presented by a lead facilitator driving the session according to the lesson plan
43+
- Aim to have one helper for every 3 to 4 students, responsible for:
44+
- Providing assistance during hands-on sections
45+
- Keeping groups on schedule for each activity
46+
- Having one helper observe the class and providing feedback ([sample reflection questions](http://www.teachhub.com/teaching-strategies-value-self-reflection))
47+
- Use a [shared notepad](https://pad.riseup.net/p/peer-to-peer-internet) for:
48+
- Sharing notes and links
49+
- Jargon-busting
50+
- Conclude with a [ticket out the door](http://www.ideasforeducators.com/idea-blog/a-twist-on-ticket-out-the-door) activity where students can optionally and anonymously leave feedback as they leave the class

# Who runs this?

This workshop series is presented by [Toronto Mesh](https://tomesh.net), a group of volunteers using off-the-shelf hardware and peer-to-peer software to build a community mesh network. Over the course of six workshops, we will:
4+
5+
- Learn how to build and maintain mesh networks
6+
- Familiarize with peer-to-peer applications and their values vs. centralized systems
7+
- Reflect on the politics of our technologies and what a distributed web may bring
8+
9+
The syllabus, along with all course material is open-source and adapts resources from [Commotion Wireless](http://commotionwireless.net), [Meta Mesh](https://www.metamesh.org), [networks.land](http://networks.land), [(Re)Building Technology](http://communitytechnology.github.io/), among others.
