Group within a group

In teaching I believe that group tasks increase the learning outcome and provides much needed social interaction in order to achieve successful task completions. However, often it is observed that a group will split unintentionally into the active and reactive sides. Better stated it is the doers and the waiters. When conducting group activities an instructor must be aware of this and learn methods to involve all the students in the group dynamics. Teaching by wandering about to me is the best means by which this is achieved. Stopping by each group and pulling the waiters into the conversation in instructor gains control of the learning outcomes as well as the classroom for all the students.
