A3: Students keep them in their satchel (binder) in baseball card holders. They can't use class time to trade #xplap

@mrmatera do you reuse items when ss use an item/power up? #XPLAP printing is not always easy especially in color.

mrmatera - Moderator Jul 13 @ 8:47 PM EDT

Q7: I have a Vlog post coming on the topic of designing groups. #XPLAP

kerryensberg Jul 13 @ 8:47 PM EDT

A7. I make them think it's random, but I actually create groups strategically. #XPLAP

tishrich - Moderator Jul 13 @ 8:47 PM EDT

A7 I mix up groups a lot 1st few weeks to create collaborative culture. Ss form groups of 3-4 and remain in groups for the quarter. #XPlap

hmarrs24 Jul 13 @ 8:47 PM EDT

A7: I change my Ss groupings every week. Teaching them that working well with someone doesn't mean they have to be your BFF #XPLAP

DonnaGaul Jul 13 @ 8:48 PM EDT

A7 it depends on the task and the time of year. Sometimes I randomize. #XPLAP

MrBaskwill Jul 13 @ 8:48 PM EDT

A7: This year Ss can have more then 1 group. 1 is pick by them a team they will face chalng with other is Guild sim interests projs #XPLAP

taylorrcasarez Jul 13 @ 8:48 PM EDT

A6: I've had students who are in the lead create side-quests before. It was cool to see what they created & other students loved it #XPLAP

kerryensberg Jul 13 @ 8:48 PM EDT

A7. Also like having a balance of team/ individual challenges. #XPLAP

Q7: I talk about Purpose Driven Learning as well as Asset Based Thinking with my students. Not fair groups but successful ones. #XPLAP

mrskochheiser Jul 13 @ 8:48 PM EDT

A7) I play seating chart games and can see dynamics of different Ss and groups w/in first few weeks; helps for all grouping #XPLAP

teresagross625 Jul 13 @ 8:48 PM EDT

I have gone both ways: them choosing and my choosing. Work on collaborating w/ many diff people, not just friends. #xplap

meyerisland Jul 13 @ 8:49 PM EDT

#xplap A7. Having "run" the survivor game for 9 years, I've always tried to balance every team based on specific attributes/role/ Lrnstyles
