Next, the INTELed teachers worked in pairs for presenting and discussing the lesson plans that they had developed for their INTELed teaching implementations. As part of this discussion the teachers had the opportunity to reflect and receive peer feedback on aspects related to the activity sequence, the classroom orchestration and the integration of embodied technologies in their lessons.
