Top 5 Reasons Students Hate Group Work (but not Google Slides)

Regular Group Work 1. “The Procrastinators” 2. One person does all the work 3. Grading makes it stressful 4. End product is incoherent 5. Students are busy! Google Slides Group Work

1. Students can work at their

  • wn pace

2. Each student is responsible for individual slides, not the whole. 3. Easy individual grading 4. The presentation will work as disparate parts, if needed 5. Students don’t have to meet

Consider the Learning Outcome

learn?”

My Projects (so far)

Students Apply Concepts Students Learn and Teach Concepts Students Find Background Information

slide-29
SLIDE 29

The Value of Background Information

  • Most experts agree that having adequate background

information on a topic is essential to comprehension.

  • Students have gained background information through

experience

  • Student background information and knowledge gaps can

vary from cultural to culture.

Background Information Builds:

Vocabulary Knowledge Schema (ways of thinking) Knowledge

  • f Available

Resources Cultural Cues

For Example:

Consider Directions

I’ve found the following stipulations helpful:

  • Be sure any images are appropriate for all audiences (no nudity;

no graphic images).

  • Make the slides visually appealing like the samples we saw in class
  • Provide a written, 1-2 sentence summary each image
  • Images should be well-chosen and on-topic; appropriate for all

audiences

  • Save a backup copy (either photos or downloaded file) of your

work

slide-44
SLIDE 44

Consider the Presentations

  • You can have students create the

accounts/presentations and then have students post the links

  • However, you will have to:
  • Give clear directions
  • Give students more group time to negotiate tasks

beyond the assignment
