SUBMITTED BY:Dan Levy, Senior Lecturer in Public Policy at the John F. Kennedy School of GovernmentWHAT YOU TRIED:I had students work in groups as I sometimes do. But instead of circulating around the classroom to try to hear what some of the groups were discussing, I asked each of the groups to write down their output/thoughts in a pre-formatted google slide from a deck that has one slide per group (slides were pre-titled, i.e. group 1, group 2, group 3, etc), so I could see what they were thinking throughout the group work process. I think this approach can be valuable to quickly spot a group that is having difficulty completing the task at hand, focus the group work by nudging the groups to produce a concrete output, lead a more focused and productive class-wide discussion by calling on specific group(s) that made particularly interesting/controversial/insightful points, and/or make the group work visible (to the faculty and to other students).WHAT YOU WISH YOU’D KNOWN PRIOR:I had not realized that given the way I set up the google slide deck initially, students could view the slides but not edit them. So I had to fix this on the fly.
