I can think of ways, but I need to know how these students kept a copy of their own work? Did they take a picture of it? Do they have digital notebooks? Did they have guided notes, and when done, were they given time to copy their work down?

In the end...we need more markerboards in the classrooms.

Great video. It seems like this is inspired by the research of Peter Liljedahl

I am trying to find a randomizer that assigns student roles in each group. Does anyone have a recommendation? Thanks!

Building Thinking Classrooms! (book) This sounds so cool with the whole school on board. I wish I could work there!

Which randomizer website do you use here?

Vertical learning - I guess it would have a similar effect if they worked on their tables in groups as well and not necessarily on whiteboards. The only difference would be the lack of 'inspiration' that might come from seeing what other groups are doing! Maybe it could work for each group to work independently first and then share their final solution with the entire class!

Interesting video and great rethinking!
