Jim,
Thank you for sharing, Jim. Group assignments are a fantastic way to approach a class such as Introduction to Computers. Having taught the class myself, I found students possessed a wide range of knowledge and skills. Creating teams and pairing more advanced learners with those who may be new to using computers in the classroom and a heavy dose of in-class sharing and discussion is a great approach!
Best,
Wishing you continued success in the classroom.
