One of the management tools I noticed we always did at big meetings was the introduction of the members. I took that step into my class room. First I go over all the information in the syllabus, then I do the ice breaker. Where the students are paired off with their neighbor, they then ask each other questions pertaining to what field they want to go into, along with some fun question like favorite color. This always warms everyone one up and I follow that activity with showing them their tool kits. I have their complete attention after that activity.
