Great response Shawnie. Keeping students on track during group activities is the most common topic of discussion I have received over the years. The section on group activities provides some great concepts to keep in mind and I also love your comment on using more advanced students to assist in leading discussions and keeping the lesson on track. Always remember to focus on what takes place the first day of class and set the stage early and announce to students that group activities are part of the course. This will give them time to adapt and accept that they will be expected to communicate with fellow students and engage. You already mentioned you use a proactive technique with respect to walking around the classroom listening to each group. This is a great practice and keeps the students engaged by knowing they cannot just be passive participants. Great job here by the way. Another thing to always remember is to have backups to your backups when performing any kind of presentations as part of the group activities. Have a resource you can pull out even if you were to lose all the electricity in the classroom. This can be as simple as planning a backup activity that keeps the students engaged on the lesson plan. If the group activity were being conducted in an eLearning Environment, you can setup a backup plan by having a conference line ready to go that is separate from the primary eLearning Portal. It would be important that students know beforehand what to do when the primary system were to go down, may even be good to have a live rehearsal at some early point during the class term. Perhaps the most important topic to take from this section of the course is to always encourage proper behavior. As humans we all are teleological which means we tend to become that which we think of the most. If we are constantly exposed to positive behavior then we tend to move in positive directions. Thanks for participating in the course and providing your great feedback. Kindest Regards James Jackson
