MAILING LISTS

I just post the Team number, not the names. I see it as primarily info for
each team to see how they are doing in relation to the others.

Subject: Re: posting team grades

I just had a student voice a similar concern tonight.  She was uncomfortable
with her team's score being up on the board (her team had not done as well
as the others, and she did acknowledge that was part of her discomfort), and
especially didn't like the feelings of competition it created in the room.

I explained to her that I am trying to foster inter-team competition to help
the teams pull together, and said I'd think over her concerns.

I'm thinking that I can perhaps post the team scores on the board without
team names - that way each team has more privacy re: no one else knowing
which score is theirs, but each team gets to see how they did relative to
their peers.  Have any of you tried something like this?  Do you think it
will have the same effect on team cohesion as would posting the scores with
the grades?

thanks,
Fran
