This year has been a struggle for teachers and their traditional ways of teaching. I am a 5th-grade teacher in middle school. My district is using a blended learning model. We have 2 cohorts Tuesdays and Thursdays and Wednesdays and Fridays. I see 2 groups of students per day. I really miss putting the kids into groups to share their learning. I love group work and I am really struggling with how to make it work this year. If you or your listeners have any ideas on how to do group work, I would love to try it. Can't wait to hear some new ideas!Simple answer: collaborate on the assignment within a doc. Use voice comments with a tool like Mote (justmote.me) for comments for a personal touch of voiceOther tools that integrate nicely with Classroom that can foster discussion:Flipgrid: Video replies.Synth: Audio discussion tool.
