It occurs to me to use an age old facilitation technique
Suggest to students to insert teammate names where ever they can.....to

NOT "I agree with that and it builds on that" BUT " I agree with Jane's
point and it builds on Rob's point"
I use this myself in workshop to try to remember peoples names
