This type of group work
was good for access to technology
worked well on a rotational basis
but was more about students each doing the same thing rather than working together.
did not take into account the social context the students were working in
didn’t plan for interactions between students
How I’d do it now…

This type of group work
is also good for access to technology
could be more geared to students working together to produce a team result/product etc
would require that interactions between students are planned for
could encourage more self-teaching (watch Sugata Mitra’s TED video)
How do we plan for interactions between
students?
•What might they say to each other?•What roles does each student have within the group? •How will they need to help each other?•What language items should they be encouraged to use when communicating with each other?
