Use your time wisely! 1 period to gather information and 1

Nota al profesor:

• Los alumnos deben formar grupo de 4 o 3 integrantes.

• Deben investigar los elementos enumerados al lado derecho (Todos los elementos deben ser
asignados, ir asignándolos en el orden que se encuentran. En caso haya más grupos, volver a empezar
desde el 1).
• Asignar 1 Chromebook por grupo – se han separado 10 Chromebook, enviar a un par de alumnos a
