#worldgeochat a4 "the paper bag moment" how to keep everything calm... flexible groups as needed, keep track of the time.

MsHolmesTeach May 16 @ 9:36 PM EDT

I used to use an app called PikMe! Would randomize for calling and could do groups. Pick size and it would randomize. #worldgeochat

In reply to @teachpluralism

A4b) My answer...use a scoring guide/rubric for the work done AND the collab. #worldgeochat
