File pdf 112KB

This session has attendees participate in a simple process that creates random groups of students for group exercises. In groups created using this process, attendees will discuss advantages and disadvantages of the process and suggest variations thereof.
The group-creating process demonstrated here can be about as quick or as slow as one would want to make it (4 minutes to 20 minutes, usually) and is fun, interesting, active, and highly interactive and can be used to create groups for any exercise or simply to break the ice.
