He can't be in each team group at the same time to make sure they are all on task, but he's able to record each group and watch their recordings of group work. When he checks in on groups they quickly get on task if they weren't - he doesn't always catch the group off task. After a few days of group work and checking in with groups some groups are saying they need more time with their groups. He is conflicted about giving more time because he knows these teams that need more time used poor management skills and were goofing off more than others during their group work. What should he do? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Remind the students that even though the teacher is not in the group with them, Teams does record their activity. Have a set meeting time of 15-20 minutes of group work during class and then come back together as one. Use the whole group time to check in with each group at the end of the time to check their progress. The teacher can also create that assignments or updates on the final assignment are due at the end of the class period so that students are held accountable for their class time.
