 * [[image:Discussion.jpg width="133" height="148" align="center"]] || With a combination of Mobi's, Interwrite Tablets, CPS Chalkboards and a mouse, up to nine groups of students can work on one computer screen at a time! Groups can collaborate on one problem, or you can split the screen into several sections (2-9) so that they may each work in their own space. ||

 * Connect two or three Interwrite tablets, Mobi's, or CPS chalkboards. (Follow the directions in the handout to make sure they are all connected.)
 * First try assigning all the devices to one space.
 * Open up this Workspace file.[[file:Multi-UserExample.gwb]]
 * On the second page (political cartoon), assign all the tablets to one space. Have two or more of you circling important details at the same time and then drag labels over to the picture. Talk to each other while you are doing this.
 * On the third page, assign one tablet to each space. Work simultaneously on the problems in your space.
 * As the instructor, move the assigned tablets to a different space after they finish the first problem by dragging and dropping the toolbars to another space and try bringing one of the sections to whole-screen mode and back again.

=Ideas for using in your classroom:=


 * Teacher Use:**

1. Have two or more groups work on one activity. Allow them to correct each other if someone makes a mistake. (Set up the rules and guidelines ahead of time to reduce the chances of conflicts.) 2. Put two or more problems on one page and pass the tablets around so different students can solve the problems. (This reminds me of having competitions at the chalkboard when I was in school. The difference, however, is that you are not standing in front of the class when you do it. Students can stay at their seats.) 3. Encourage students to get to class on time. Have several activities/tasks set up and the first students to get to class can use the tablets to solve them. They could be content related, brainteasers, "find the " pictures, etc. 4. Add one or more interactive flash files to your workspace page so that several students can interact at once. 5. Have several groups work on a problem at the same time, and then show one solution on the whole screen at a time as the group members explain their thinking process.

1. Encourage students to find interactive files or brainteasers that you can use for collaborative activities.
