Why not try to create a collaborative slide deck where each group takes ownership of their slide and then this becomes a living document.
Using Collaborative Slide Decks to Promote Engagement
With a little bit of prep, teachers can set up a digital version of the popular gallery walk to foster collaboration in the classroom.
