Group Work That Works: Fair, Collaborative Group Work with Integrity

Group projects often spark frustration with some students carrying the weight while others contribute little to nothing. But what if group work could be structured so that every voice matters and every student is accountable? In this interactive session, we’ll explore practical strategies and tools to make group collaboration easier to set up, more engaging, and rooted in integrity. We’ll also break out into groups and try these strategies workshop style. Using Markify (a free classroom collaboration tool), you’ll experience how technology can ensure equitable participation, give teachers visibility into group contributions, and foster real teamwork. You’ll leave with ready-to-use routines, tech strategies for forming and managing groups, and a tool to help transform group work into meaningful, fair, and collaborative learning.
