With each group, the goal will be that learners nave reached consensus, solved the problem or completed the task.

THIS APPROACH HAS SEVERAL DRAWBACKS
1] It can be quite time-consuming if there are four or five groups reporting.
2] It can become rather than boring, particularly if there is not much variation in what is being reported from each group. 
3] It can result in information overload, making it difficult for learners to keep track of what each group reported and to focus on important differences in the approaches or result.  ]]> 2019-05-14 20:25:04 UTC https://padlet.com/19002800/duxdig82c2hu/wish/360096650
