1.2 Collaborative learning in a flexible classroom

In my class I have 11-17 students(4 classes),. In two of them I have 10 computers, and in the others i don't have computers. When we have a lesson in which we use computers, we went in computers lab, there are 30 computers, projector ad teacher's computer. I use math tools like GeoGebra, k-brush, k-procentage, K-eduka, k-eduka editor, math games... I'd like to have in each classes projector and teachers computer, I think this can help me more. Students are very happy when we use technology and they like it. They collaborate with each other, exchange ideas and work together in tasks.

I often work in groups and students like group work. We make presentation with Power Point, we search information in google, we work in Geo Gebra app. and the best thing what I see in this, students help each other during activities. Using technology during the lessons make learning more attractive for students.

I give a feedback to students in group, pair and individual activities. A feedback is very important for students because they can see in which area have more difficulties. For assessment we have formative and summation assessment. I early used activities in Edmondo. It was very attractive for students, but we have problem with OS Linux (which we are using in our school).

Have you experienced similar or different difficulties in collaborating with teachers, and if so why? Do you, like the teacher in this video, find it difficult to guarantee the quality of the collaboration that takes place between your students? What about the uneven efforts made by individual group members resulting in frustration for some students when it comes to assessment of the whole group?

My collaboration with colleagues is good. We exchange ideas and work together for being good in our work. In Macedonia we have Facebook Group with math teachers, we  exchange ideas, learning activities, tests, worksheets.
I'm mat teacher from 6 to 9 grades students. When students come to me in 6 grade I have difficulties with group work. Sometime some students don't want to collaborate with the others, sometime some students do most of group works, sometime some students in grope did not finish their task and this can effect all group work. But, I help them to pass all this difficulties.

Share your activity descriptions and explanations of why they are low or high levels of collaboration
Lest year in end of semester I did activities with 9 grades students. We create questionnaire with which we collect information about family members and how many members of those family are working. Information which we collect we create diagrams. In this activity I saw high collaborative learning. Students work together in groups, they respect each other opinions, and the were very enthusiastic during the activity and they did very good presentation of their work.
I think this is happen because this activity was connected with everyday live, and students have a chance to act like a 'real researcher'.

Collaborative questions:

1.  Are they working together?

2.  Do they have shared responsibilities?

3.  Do they make substantive decisions?

The 4 questions can help me to design collaborative learning activities . These questions are the key of good lesson plan for develop pupils' collaborative skills , and must important to learn how to work together.

When students are working in a projects, uselessly they like to works with close friends in their class. I think reason is they have often similar opinion for thinks and they have their 'one language'. this is god for projects because in this way we eliminate misunderstanding which can be created. I used Edmodo before two years. and it's was great. I had one project for antic mathematicians. Groups prepare ppt presentation and I made a video. I post that video in Edmodo and pupils vote about best project and presentation. this was great.

Self assessment and peer assessment is very important. They not only help teachers to assess students work, also they can help students to develop critical thinking. Students for these kind of assessments can learn how to value others work in generally. Self-assessment and peer assessment must include in summative assessment because they are not only assess but they are also and critical learning skills.

I agree with list of skills described on this video. Teacher must be example for students, if students see group of teachers who collaborate this could be a good example. Teachers can exchange ideas for teaching, this can give them more resources for next activities, they can develop better lesson plans for their teaching.
