How the teacher groups the students is important so the students can get different points of view from different students. ]]> 2018-05-25 18:15:44 UTC https://padlet.com/bradshawa1/3edfi2e9gwv6/wish/263708814 bradshawa1 https://padlet.com/bradshawa1/3edfi2e9gwv6/wish/263709494 Processing new information in pairs or groups allows students to see the different ways their classmates are processing the information. This will help them expand on their processing of the information. The way the teacher groups the students can vary. They can group them based on level of understanding or heterogeneous groups. Before the teacher does this, they should go over group expectations. ]]> 2018-05-25 18:18:46 UTC https://padlet.com/bradshawa1/3edfi2e9gwv6/wish/263709494 bradshawa1 https://padlet.com/bradshawa1/3edfi2e9gwv6/wish/263710498 If the teacher decides to hand out job note cards, this can help guide the groups discussion. Some sample jobs would be the recorder, summarizer, and questioner. It is a good idea to give each student a different job each time. It is also important that each child knows the role of each job so that they are staying on task. ]]> 2018-05-25 18:22:40 UTC https://padlet.com/bradshawa1/3edfi2e9gwv6/wish/263710498 bradshawa1 https://padlet.com/bradshawa1/3edfi2e9gwv6/wish/263711395 Technology tools can be useful in both of the strategies that have been discussed. The teacher could use a website to randomly assign groups. This way it is quick and easy for teachers. You could also have students take notes on their thinking digitally. 

Technology can also be used with job cards. You could use a random number or name generator. That will help decide the job roles. This will also help make sure the roles are different each time. ]]> 2018-05-25 18:25:56 UTC https://padlet.com/bradshawa1/3edfi2e9gwv6/wish/263711395 bradshawa1 https://padlet.com/bradshawa1/3edfi2e9gwv6/wish/263712377 This might seem overwhelming but if you use ClassDojo, most of these tools are already apart of this app. ClassDojo has a randomizer and feature that allows you to make groups. It can even have you make groups where certain students aren't in the same group. ]]> 2018-05-25 18:29:41 UTC https://padlet.com/bradshawa1/3edfi2e9gwv6/wish/263712377 bradshawa1 https://padlet.com/bradshawa1/3edfi2e9gwv6/wish/263712983 Magana, S., & Marzano, R.
