Engaging Learners in Online Productive Group Work

Engaging Students in Online Productive Group Work

In our urgency to put content in front of our students, it’s easy to slip into assigning a lot of independent work, which can be a shock for students who are used to guided instruction and collaborative work.

Here are some scaffolding strategies for three different kinds of lessons to get students working in groups again, even in an online environment. As you’re watching, here are some considerations for further thinking:

  • Where is ONE place you can replace independent work with productive group work?
  • If you feel like all you’re doing is “processing” students, what ONE thing would make you feel more like the teacher you know you are?
  • Which of the three scaffold methods would work for you? Who is the person you’d like to reach out to and toss ideas around with?

Enjoy!

Triggers & Levers: What Physical Therapy Taught Me About Teaching

    Thank you for this content. Now that the initial shock of going online is mostly over and the tech skills have been quickly increased, I think teachers are ready to think about how to do more than just push out modeling videos, assign something, and tell the kids “Good job.”

    I have lots of teachers asking about feedback in an online environment. They feel like they are walking a tightrope that if they offer any feedback that isn’t praise, the student may choose to disengage with that work or possibly future work. But they also want to offer prompts that encourage reflection and deeper student engagement with the learning. One thing I’ve suggested is using the voice memo feedback so the students can hear the intonation and invitational way the feedback is given. Plus our elementary students at this point in the year, like hearing their teacher’s voice and that familiarity.

    I’d love to hear what advice you’d give teachers about feedback in online learning- especially to younger students.

    Thank you!
