Orchestration Graphs: Designing Lesson Structures

This lecture introduces the concept of orchestration graphs, which are used to sequence activities in a lesson based on social structures. The instructor explains how to integrate various activities, such as introducing concepts, encouraging hypothesis formation, group discussions, simulations, reflections, and debriefing lectures, into a coherent narrative. The lecture emphasizes the importance of data flow and operators to manage transitions between activities, ensuring consistency both pedagogically and data-wise. The instructor also discusses the dynamic nature of lessons and the real-time management required to adapt the lesson plan to unexpected events in the classroom.
