<li>Creating an environment where discourse and pairing are comfortable is very important, especially since teacher time is limited and you'll want all of your students to have their best chance at succeeding.</li> <li>If there is not an individual computer available for each student, pair programming can maximize resources. </li> <li>Also, research shoes that increased interaction with peers maintains interest in computer science among female students.</li> </ul></li> <li>How: <ul><li>Have students pair program with a partner at a single computer so that they must collaborate to complete the assignment. <ul><li>Make students switch partners each week so they get to work with many of their peers.</li> </ul></li> </ul></li> <li>Check out <a
