This document describes an activity that uses collaborative learning through reflection and dialogue to discuss topics related to teaching and learning. Participants will break into groups to discuss issues around a topic, how some could be resolved through mobile apps, and which apps could provide solutions. Groups will capture their discussions on flipcharts and then share with another group. The activity format is inspired by the World Cafe method and aims to promote engagement, interaction, and learning among both small and large groups.
