“Sharing information among teammates enhances teambuilding, tutoring, concept development, and creating positive peer groups. Sharing information among classmates enhances classbuilding as well as higher level thinking skills. A benefit of simultaneous information sharing is the large amount of student involvement and interaction in comparison to the mode of sharing where the teacher calls on one student at a time.”
