- You have blogging groups to share ideas. You did one homework assignment in blogging groups, this was the Intro to Tech Integration assignment. You will do no more homework assignments in your blogging groups. You should still read each other's blogs and comment to each other, but you will not be doing homework together.
- You have homework groups. Many of the assignments in this class are group-based projects. We do this because we know many of the assignments can be complicated, and the groups are there to share the workload and help each other out so that you are not so overwhelmed. We also agree with Vygotsky, Leve, Wenger, Engestrom, and other learning theorists who believe you learn more effectively in social situations. We have learned by experience that groups of 2-4 work best. It is important to work well in your group and to communicate often because you will do several assignments together.
Here are your homework groups for the rest of the semester. I really hate my naming scheme, and I'm sure you do to. If you want to have a unique name for your group, rather than "Science 2.1" then tell me what you want to call yourselves. I've had some fun groups in my classes before, from the Spongebobs to the Gryffindors.
