This task is carried out in groups (and you may want to look at OER4schools Unit 3 on group work for more information about the benefits of collaborative working). Groups can be formed in different ways (group work is covered in [[OER4Schools/3.1_Group_work:_Same-task_and_different-tasks_group_work|the OER4Schools professional learning resource Unit 3]]). The method we use here is forming groups randomly. Participants are assigned a letter from A to F randomly, and thus forms groups A to F. The lecturer should make sure that this really leads to well mixed groups, and that participants do not swap groups after groups have been allocated. | This task is carried out in groups (and you may want to look at OER4schools Unit 3 on group work for more information about the benefits of collaborative working).

As participants you should note that we use similar ideas for carrying out this ask as you might use as a teacher in primary or secondary education. This is called modelling, and create linkages between the methods used at various levels of education. For instance, group formation, and also explicitly making sure that | As participants you should note that we use similar ideas for carrying out this ask as you might use as a teacher in primary or secondary education.

Having formed the groups, you now split into groups. Group A-C will be given be given the task of investigating the use of the ICT installation in a nearby primary school, while groups D-F will investigate a number of computer applications for use in education. | Having formed the groups, you now split into groups.
