  Case: Microsoft Teams Group Work
A teacher is having issues with his students not being on task when they break up into Microsoft Team Groups. 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!)
I would let the students know they can meet on Teams outside of class time. They have to deal with the consequences of their poor time management skills and no special treatment should be given. I would advise the students that they should come up with an agenda for the meeting to ensure that they stay on task.
