What should I, as an educator, do while my students are in workshops?

Please feel free to look in on your students as they attend their workshops or sit in and watch a workshop that sounds interesting.

We ask that you help us direct students around when you can as well. The large college campus can be confusing and we need as much help directing students as possible.
