Make Group Progress Visible
NOTE: This strategy is part of the self-paced Spark Collaboration Course
Create a way to display group progress during collaborative work blocks to keep track of progress as a class. A few ways that you might do this include:
- Create a physical or digital timeline and plot student groups using post-its or magnets to show where they are in the project based on deadlines
- Create a spreadsheet and display it to show progress
- Use timers and ask groups to create goals to complete within a certain timeframe. They can write their goals on the board or on chart paper and check in at the end of each timer.
- Leverage project management software that is used in the real world for students to keep track of their work
