Group projects don't reduce workload. Planning them so all students work and actually learn is an art.

That's if you plan them so that all children learn. My daughter was a high achiever, my son was a lazy learner. They both agreed that group projects are great for the teachers because the bright students do the work because the want good grades, the lazy students get the grade without doing anything, and the teachers said they had fewer papers to grade that way.
