Abstract

This paper discusses the benefits of using participatory teaching methods in the computer science classroom. Specifically, the author describes the experience of using student led theatrical productions to teach the concepts of reliable data transfer in a computer networks course. This paper also provides computer science educators with information on how to use student led drama in their own classroom.
