When setting up groups make sure they are organized effectively. Make sure the group is not too big and a mixture of skill levels. Once groups are set, ow make sure the activity given is planned at every stage. Set groups expectations and discuss rubric and how the activity will be graded and how each person will be graded as well.  The activity should have interdependent parts so that each student needs the other students input or work. As the groups are working, walk around and monitor progress so that they stay on task.  Rugg, A. (2018, November 21). How to use tech to facilitate small-group work - HumTech - UCLA.

• #10: Tucker, C. (2014, January 6). 5 Tips for Managing Mobile Devices in the Classroom. Dr Catlin Tucker. https://catlintucker.com/2014/01/5-tips-for-managing-mobile-devices-in-the-classroom/.  There are a few ways to handling handheld devices in the classroom. Handheld devices include but not limited to smartphones, ipads, tablets, chromebooks and laptops. Some students see this as a opportunity to text and snap friends, so you will need to make sure the lessons that use these devices are engaging.  Establish guidelines and norms the students have to follow when using these devices and emphasis the learning aspects of these tools and why they are being used in class. Once finished with the phones place them a phone caddy holder and put all other devices away after usage. In a normal situation, sharing of devices would be another way to engage the students because they are required to be in close proximity of each other in order to collaborate. Lastly make sure the applications the students are using are educational and not just entertainment.
