Greetings! I noticed that several of you have made post about groups. Having student group is an area where so many of us struggle to achieve a balance and I don't think there is a perfect way. A couple of strategies that I have used: 1) Assign 2 or 3 students in a group on the first night of class and they work together the entire length of the course. So when it comes time to do the "big project", they have built a relationship of trust and are ready to work as a team. OR 2) I change group members on a regular basis so that students learn more about group dynamics. Then when it is time for the "big project", they are better prepared. I have had successes with both. Usually depends on the mix of the class. Would you please share some of your success stories. Thanks and keep up the good work! Jane Davis ED106 Facilitator
