I noticed that in both videos students were working on different skills or tasks in different stations. Both classrooms also used technology within the stations. One video provided all of the directions for each station versus the other video provided some directions and some explanations for the stations.

Liberty Group 1:

Video 1 is skills based content while Video 2 appears to be largely essay/revision/reflection type content. In any case, you can understand that small group station rotation is very diverse.

Group 2

We noticed that each video showed the teacher giving direct instructions about what each group does. They each focused on different topics. 1 focused on skills students needed to review while the other focused on parts and revisions of an essay.

Kellis Group 1-

The first video does a great job at using small group to increase engagement for some of the drier concepts, such as grammar and writing instruction. They use videos to give them context on what they are going to be doing.

The second video is using small group to increase the specific skills. They start on a technology based platform and transition to hands on, applied skills.

I noticed that in both of the videos students were able to use technology at the stations. One video the teacher provided direct instruction to focus on specific skills while the other students were revising an essay.

In both videos it was clear what students were expected to accomplish. From both videos, we learn that there are many different uses for stations. One as a means to review content and the other as a means to exercise skill and work through pieces of a task.
