The use of flexible grouping strategies, like station rotation, can facilitate student learning in multiple ways:
Learning stations get kids to focus on small chunks of learning which keep them from getting overwhelmed
This focus helps you scaffold skills one at a time and leads to deeper learning
The kids have to get up and moving, away from their computers, which not only adds variety to the class but also helps the learning process while in distant learning
It gives students the opportunity to take more ownership in their learning by providing choice and autonomy
It allows learning to happen at a student’s level of need in small groups and/or individually
