Why does group work STINK? (Part 6)  Not every lesson needs to be a group project. But how do you know if your activity actually lends itself to meaningful collaboration? Use AI as your thought partner! In Part 6 of our series live from Bryce Canyon National Park, learn how tools like ChatGPT or Google Gemini can analyze your lesson plans and recommend the best ways to structure group work—or tell you if individual work is better. How AI can help plan collaborative learning: 🎯 Evaluate Fit: Checks if your lesson actually benefits from group work. 💭 Individual Thinking: Suggests pre-discussion tasks for students. 👥 Useful Roles: Recommends specific thinking roles (like Skeptic, Connector, or Synthesizer). ⚖️ Accountability: Builds in ways to ensure every student participates. 📸 Take a screenshot of the prompt in the video and paste it into your favorite AI assistant to get a complete, classroom-ready lesson breakdown!
