* Did you try drawing concept maps on the netbooks? Were you able to use coloured boxes? Briefly share issues that you were able to resolve. Discuss issues that are still not resolved.
}}
* Did you try the concept mapping activity with pupils in your class? How did the pupils respond to the activity, especially reasoning and building on each other’s responses? If they did this, how were you able to achieve it? Share specific examples of pupil talk and teacher talk.
* Did you use a digital projector in the class? Was it useful for the concept mapping activity? Why?
* What would you change when you carry out the concept mapping activity again? Make a note for yourself about any changes so you can remember for next time.


Get into the same three groups that were formed during the last session for same-task and different-tasks activity (Unit 3 Session 1, Activity 3)

== Small group discussion: Groupwork activities ==
 
 
* The volunteers who posted questions for group work on the googlegroups should share their experience of working on googlegroups. How difficult or easy was this? Would you recommend other participants to try it? What advice would you give them?
* Did you carry out a same-task group work activity in your class? Which topic did you choose? Was there any pupil learning about the topic that could be achieved through group work but would not be possible through whole class teaching? Elaborate your answer.
* Did you carry out a different-tasks group work activity in your class? What were the advantages of this type of group work? Share specific examples.
* What issues did you face while teaching through group work? Specifically think about challenges related to pupils’ interaction with each other such as involving all members in discussion, dominant and shy pupils, agreement and disagreement, and noise. How did you resolve these issues? Write a note for yourself about the steps you will take to resolve these issues next time.
