There's an activity I did as an undergrad where we broke up into teams with the rules regarding choices being made in either a competitive or cooperative setting. Anyone seen anything like this online?
Sorry I can't remember many details except that the lesson was the cooperation was the best method.

Cooperative. Does that mean redistribution of the effort and brains?

It means the smart kids have to help out the dumb kids. It's a good way to make the whole bunch of 'em mediocre. :D

Try googling variable or non-zero sum games.

Like the Prisoner's Dilemma?

If that isn't it, click on game theory and I'm sure you'll find what you're looking for.

Thanks folks. I think the Prisoner's Dilemma was what I was looking for. I'm teaching conflict theory today.
