Well, I was , at least, a little bit less sad when I read some comments also saying they have not done it before, as me. I will surely try to do it in a near future .
I agree that technology becomes useful when used in a collaborative way because other than that students would, individually, get distracted , lose focus and it wouldn´t help.

I used the circle time after a collaborative activity of science. I split my 19 pupils into groups of three and using the Kahoot application, built of multiple choice test on the topics covered. The achievements have been different, have implemented their knowledge and cooperated doing research, all this very amusing. Later we talked about highlighting the positive and negative aspects.

I've asked my pupils about how the common work went varios times. Possitive answers have been that they enjoy working together and they have build stronger rellations and  negative answears were that some of them collaborateed less than others and sometimes disagree with them creating little discussions. We agreed that everybody has the wright to an oppinion and if they want to express themselves and convince the others that they are right,  they have to bring strong arguments. Also, if we collaborate more often, the collaboration improuve.
I agree that technology is verry important in class, more if it is used with collaborative methods, because they are two tools that pupils love and motivates them.

I have designed project based activities similar to 'circle time' described in the video but I found them to much difficult to carry out especially when the time is restricted and/or the students are not used to work collaboratively and so they can't easily understand the issues. I agree that technology supports collaborative learning in class fully and efficiently.

As an experienced teacher having worked in international environment, I am keen on promoting project-based learning. Not only can it enhance students'  knowledge, but  also it can be the ground for reflection upon the group work and the role of each student in the process.

Dyskutowałam z uczniami na temat efektywności pracy w grupie w formie swobodnej wypowiedzi chętnych uczniów oraz w formie ankiet. Dyskutowaliśmy też nad możliwymi rozwiązaniami tego co oceniliśmy za naszą porażkę, niedociągnięcie.
Zgadzam się z stwierdzeniem, że technologia jest przydatna podczas pracy na zajęciach z wykorzystaniem różnych metod, nie tylko podczas pracy grupowej. Podczas prezentowanej lekcji uczniowie wyszukiwali informacji korzystając z zasobów internetu, skanowali materiały, rozmawiali na żywo z rówieśnikami z innej szkoły. Myślę, że było to dla nich ważne doświadczenie pozwalające zrozumieć to z czym spotykają się na co dzień: przenikaniem się rzeczywistości i wirtualnego świata.

I absolutely agree, that-s why I have created my own website, in order to create a community, to cooperate in a positive way and to decrease student-s stress. By getting rewards on the net, they also feel more satisfied with themselves and they care they work

# data[].attributes.body
I think it’s very important to monitorize how the groups are doing - monitorizing it in several moments and in several aspects during the process of a collaborative learning activity.

I usually provide my students with a “checklist” that helps them to seek the positive and negative aspects of what they are doing and solutions to improve what they think isn’t going great.

·      Have we shown cooperation, respect, and a mutual effort to understand the other students in the group?

·      Have I clearly, briefly, and precisely identified my stance on the group work?

·      Have we clearly, briefly, and precisely identified our own stance on the class project?

Then, I ask them to rate other group members’ participation. These ideas encourage students to participate in group discussion and work, it helps them to monitor their own progress and their contribution to the on-task work, while also allowing to stop any disruptive or off-task behavior.

After that, we should compliment students who are dedicated to the task and working diligently. All students like to be recognized and it works as a boost moment for all groups.

This activity works great, not only to help students clarify their thoughts and develop their critical thinking skills, but it also provides them with a structured way to talk and think about these issues.

By providing an open platform for dialog, while teaching them how to work with one another and how to respect one another, we will be helping our students to develop a valuable life skill.

I realy agree that Technology can play a unique and vital role in collaborative learning by facilitating group collaboration, providing structure for group tasks, and allowing members of groups to communicate even if they are not working face to face. Now more than ever, technology allows students to collaborate on projects without the constraints of time or geography.

This is a truly inspiring video. It promotes collaboration between students and can also promote knowledge bridges between subjects. I have never used the circle time even if I often experience collaborative learning in my class and at the end of the activities we discuss about the work done. and I certainly will put it in practice.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe “circle time” is very interesting because the students become more aware of what they can do to improve. Sometimes we, teachers, skip this moment because we are running against time to comply with the planning.
As for the use of technology, it is very useful in a project-based learning. Students search for information, select it and organize it in a collaborative way, each member of the group giving opinions and ideas.

# data[].attributes.body

I've already used exercises similar to "circle time",  but not  with group work. It’s the next activity I’ll try to do. It’s not a long time that I practice group work so I try to develope strategies and the video is very useful. E twinning projects encourage me to practice group work. My students help each other in order to complete tasks or projects and they are happy to do it. Someone finds some difficult to give his/her ideas but day by day they increase their partecipation and give contribution to the group.

Technology becomes useful.

I haven’t already used tools with students. The way used from the teacher in the video help me to find a new way to work with devices in the classroom .

I know online collaboration tools, such as Google Drive, but I never use it with students.

# data[].attributes.body
I've already used exercises similar to "circle time", not only with group work. This certainly improves their skills, namely their collaboration skills and their evaluation skills as well. Technology becomes useful. For example, when we use online collaboration tools, such as Google Drive. Each student can give his/her contribution to the work the group is doing, can add or change what his/her peer has done. As a result, they work together, they shared responsibilities, they attain their goal.

Great method. I have never use it. Using tecnhology in class it engage the students on another level of concentration.

I have never participated in collaborative projects with mathematics but I have participated in several projects etwinning, Comenius and Erasmus +. For example, I participated in an etwinning project with a Sciences teacher (Sónia Correia) in my school at the FWL . It is too early to see if this work has improved the skills of the students, but it has certainly hurt the teachers involved.

# data[].attributes.body
I use the "circle time" method to discuss with students the positive and negative aspects, and how to improve next time. I think that "Technology becomes useful in class especially when collaborative practices are used", because tech motivate our student to do their work.

I have carried several similar exercises in my lessons. As an eTwinner I have this type of project work, we plan together the project work and the final product we want to achieve with the project. Groups have different task but all the group have the same aims that will lead to the final product.
Collaboration in the classroom and with other partners motivate students and learning is a pleasure!
Sometimes school has few equipments but we always manage a way to do it! Creativity is what we want from our students but to do this type of project teachers have to be creative too.
This is the challenge I like in education!

# data[].attributes.body
I tried to use the circle time method to discuss with students the positive and negative aspects of a video conference with students of other schools. It was great, the students analyzed their behaviour, their feelings and fears and proposed to realize this type of activity again.
I think that technology makes the communication in collaborative learning quicker.

# data[].attributes.body
How often we hear the students argue that many of the subjects that discuss along their academic path are irrelevant. In fact, in many disciplines, curricula are so obsolete that students forget most of the content immediately after the evaluation.  So in the last year I propose, to my students  the challenge to look a problem in their region and designing a simple curriculum and organize it, to achieve the skills required by the national curriculum and, at the same time, find a solution for the problem. This challenge gives opportunity to students, their families and other community discover for yourself what they would like to learn in school and to communicate their ideas, desires and aspirations.Thus, the project divides into three parts that make up the magnificence of the region, fauna, flora and water.
I think this is a good example of collaborative work not only between students but also between teachers and community.

I found PBL very interesting; so it maintain the creativity in the classroom and surely give other opportunity to discover another amazing education

I have never tried the 'circle time' whereby students identify the positive and negative aspects of their group work. I think that this approach to evaluating collaborative work is a novel idea and worth emulating. I do agree that technology helps a lot in collaborative work. Fast real-time search for information in the internet can best be facilitated through technology. I am especially impressed with the video conferencing with students in Ireland that led to greater understanding of the Italian students' study of Celtic history.

It is entertaining and motivating students . in the future I think this is the way to motivate students and get results

# data[].attributes.body
I never used the circle time but I think that it is very interesting . It is a method to help students interact and socialize on a given topic. Activities such as circle time are quite useful and in my opinion a great way to motivate the students. Project- basic learning is a dynamic approach to teaching in which students explore real world problems developing cross- curriculum skills while working in a small collaborative group. The benefits that I see in collaborative learning are learning from others, the feeling of being part of a team and students involvement.

# data[].attributes.body
I always try to carry out the planned activities, and to give my students time to discuss, but Sometimes we don't have enough time to organize everything as we would like to do it. Plus in my school we have too many students( classes with 30 students or more) which makes it even more difficult.

Indeed, usually pupils and me discusses the work carried out un the lab, and the use if ICT is something habitual due to the usual use of smart phones, tablets. Use of ebooks is also very attractive because they are interactive and access to videos is very easy. That environment encourage students to learn more.

# data[].attributes.body
I carry out the similar evaluation in my  class and yes it is very useful because taking responsibility for your group or analyzing what was great and what maybe went wrong is actually a part of that collaborative work.
Using technology in collaborative practice for me comes useful for remote collaborative work.

We have similar exercise as the ‘circle time’. It definetly improve students collaboration skills. I agree that technology is useful in class becouse students are motivated to learn together, search informations and to do projects together.

I have had experience  of group work so far, in particular as regards e-Twinning  projects but using technological tools at school is not always possible. And desks don't help to join students! Group works are so important in order to learn how to share relevant experiences.

I apply this method withour individual technological opportunities.I use smart phone in class .However ,I try to encourage collaboration with etwinning projects and simple and impressive group works.At first, I have to face many matters such as noise , unfriendly attitidues,competeting for leadership and individual preferences.But I determine the rules properly and clearly.I never change my opinions about the rules.they at last accept and focus on the task

# data[].attributes.body
I always try to evaluate my students working collaboratively  through discussion most of the times. We focus on the difficulties encountered and ways they adopted to handle them. I believe this helps learners improve their collaborative work but I still feel there is lots to be done on my own part.About technology's role in collaborative activities I can't but agree as this is something I have witnessed working on European projects.At a national level I believe our students are not trained enough to use technology as a means to accomplish collaborative tasks but I hope this will change in the future.

# data[].attributes.body
I have never tried this "circle time" either. But following the discussion/postings here I also think that the application of technology in class is vital for carrying out such a project.
I also think that the individual assessment is rather hard when pupils are working together in groups, because you have to rely on the group working together as a group.

In project-based learning, this is a fundamental moment!
Knowing that every step of the process is deeply connected with the precedent and the following ones, there's nothing as useful as stopping every now and then, to assess what went wrong and plan the future iniciatives.
And this is something to intensely train with our students, helping them to create reflection routines about teamwork, their individual contributes and their evolution as singular individuals.

I have tried to develop a  complele subjetc using PBL, but is not easy.
The students work a topic through a semester working in groups one topic an sharing the results with the classmates.

# data[].attributes.body
I am starting to be a bit confused between cooperative learning and collaborative learning....
What I saw in this video, looked to me like cooperative learning in PBL, and that is how I sometimes work in my class (without the great ICT support, which lacks in my school), but more manipulative, as we are second graders.
So, collaborative learning is working in groups towards a final product within the whole class?

# data[].attributes.body
I have tried to introduce collaborative learning teaching in my classes through different projects and final products but not with so good results as we can see in this video. I really liked the idea and its development and the amazing final result. I agree technology improves learning but we can't access allways to those resources.

# data[].attributes.body
I never use this kind of exercises with my students.
I agree with the idea that technology is useful for develop colaborative work (google drive, google docs, etc).

# data[].attributes.body
'Circle time' is a very useful way of evaluating the work students have been doing in groups. I think evaluation is a key element of collaborative learning and definitely a key skill to be developed when learning through project-based learning.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't usually use technologies with my students because they still have some difficulties using the computer and they tend to google subjects that do not have to do with the class theme. Also, I find that students are missing their creative self by using their computers and tablets for everything so I usually urge them to use their hands. Sorry... But the class in the video is what I aim for. In my present course on Special Needs Education, one of the things I'm preparing to do is project work based classes as inclusion promotion in the classroom.

# data[].attributes.body
I like explicity discussing with my pupils about how the group work was. I think that this attitude is positive towards the promotion of good teaching-learning situations. My pupils know the circle time's rules: these are very important in order to respect each other.

I want to carry projects on the eTwinning platform.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree that collaborative practices through project-based learning with technology improves the classroom environment and therefore learning if students have already developed collaborative competencies and technology basic skills before. I use to implement this kind of exercises with 7th and 8th grades, in an introduction topic or for revising background topics.

# data[].attributes.body
I have recently done it with my students in year 7. The students liked it. First I told the topic and I asked the students to think and tell the goals what they would learn through this activity. At the end of this topic the students discussed how they achieved the goals through this topic and what they could do differently in the future. I think technology is useful in class especially when collaborative practices are used. It makes working effectively and it gives more information and chances to create something more. The students like  using the smartphones and tablets while they are learning because they use theses devices every day and it is common thing to do. I think that here the teachers can influence the students to use these devices by doing something creatively, not just being on the Internet and chatting and watching the videos on YouTube.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes I have carried out a similar exercises, sometimes I have seen evidence of collaborative work and sometimes don`t. Some students work together easiest than others. Some students have a “culture of work” and some don`t. For this I agree technology becomes useful in class especially when collaborative practices are used. Ours students are a “Technology´s child”, most of them grew with technology that`s what  learn/work with technologies is so motivator for them.

I agree technology becomes useful in class especially in collaborative practices. I go through utility of technology when we have long-time day and students became tired, but also for difficult subject. using movies or animation can help in understanding and recollection

I have not tried the circle time yet but I provided group evaluations grids where the group takes into considerations pros and cons of the experience of collaborative learning.I agree with Francesca, technology is important for motivation but also for the wide choices of expressing content it offers. You have to give students all the tools possible to become protagonist of the learning process. the use of ICT is also inclusive.

I teach in a vocational school for hotel services and catering, in the previous school year, I created a project using the cooperative work for writing a cookery book.

The students  selected ancient Sicilian recipes with the half of their biology and cookery teachers. They prepared cards with  scientific informations.

During the presentation of the text to the public, students have cooked a few dishes in the book that were offered to visitors during the event.

I've never tried the circle time, I've only read it into books. I'm not sure about its effectivity. I usually use a self assessment for the team work in which each student must think in deep about th elearning process.
I do agree about technology in leaning and mostly in collaborative methodology.

The use of 'circle time' in the lesson shown on the video was interesting.  It facilitated opportunities for worthwhile and relevant feedback.  I agree with the idea that technology is useful, it facilitated the project based aspects of the lesson and is often important to work in groups due to limited resources.  I liked the idea of producing a project and sharing or working with another class in another country using technology.  It is a methodology I would be keen to explore.

I think,  project-based learning helps students :develop skills for living in a knowledge-based, highly technological Society encourages  by doing the following:

It lets the teacher have multiple assessment opportunities.

It allows a child to demonstrate his or her capabilities while working independently.

It shows the child's ability to apply desired skills such as doing research.

It develops the child's ability to work with his or her peers, building teamwork and group skills.

It allows the teacher to learn more about the child as a person.

It helps the teacher communicate in progressive and meaningful ways with the child or a group of children on a range of issues.

Working with projects is one of my favourite ways of working with groups. Having the studeents fullfill all the stepsd to building and creating a project requieres that they work in a collaborative way. I use different types of technology, which helps and makes students want to inquiere about the subject. Sometimes I have difficulties when sharing their results.

This method can be very useful because it can make easier the self-evaluation and coleagues evaluation about each work.

It promotes collaboration between students and can also promote knowledge bridges between subjects.

We have sort of "circle time", although we don't call it loke that. I use to have several feedbak sessions along the course: on workgroup, on their understanding of the concepts so far, on the class dynamics... My students are much older (university).
Technology has proven very useful sometimes: some of the students don't dare to express their views or opinions in public, but feel more comfortable answering an anonymous questionaire on our LMS.

The video shows clearly how to let students work in a collaborative way through PBL; i like this methodology and I often  plan my lessons in order to promote collaborative learning, because I think that this si a good way to develop the 21st century skills in students. As for the “ circle time “ I must admit that I rarely do it, because of time matters. Working on BPL takes more time and energy both for the teachers and the students, who althouh  appreciate this way of working, however they think that this is  not the proper way to learn english language ; indeed they still have in mind the model of the teacher centered lessons and they think that  this way of studying do not let them improve in their mastety of the language. Therefore,my students should change their  thoughts about language learning; If I ask them if they like working in a collaborative way they answer that they do not mind it, but however, they prefer to use the textbook more than looking for information, selecting them and elaborate such information in order to create a final product. They find this way of studying more demanding and difficult . In short they feel safer and more confortable  to work in the traditional way. This is due in my opinion to the fact that they are not used to studying in this way in the other subject. I use techonology in my casses , for example the fipped methodology, google drive, Titanpad etc, I give my students the opportunity to create videos, e-book, on line presentations, of coursse. I agree that the ICT are useful for enhancing collabation among students. But again, my students do not appreciate a lot this kind of working because I am the only teacher in their class who uses this methodology, so they  criticize me quite often.� m a�y��A�

I have used Circle Time but not in this way. It has given me an idea of using it differently. Technology is best used collaboratively on most occasions as it allows pupils to share, discuss and learn from each other. But there are moments when a pupil should be allowed work individually with technology to allow him/her to learn independently. having done this, it might be possible to share the learning

# data[].attributes.body
Although I've never called it circle time, we've had feedback sessions about positive and negative aspects of group work with my students who are much older than the pupils in the video. I must say negative aspects and problems when discussed can be solved, whereas if they weren't brought out in the open could lead to bigger problems in future. So it's a good way of facing issues when they arise.
Collaborative learning, such as the activity in the video, is really wonderful for inclusive practices because even students who weren't easily drawn into classroom activities finally become interested and don't feel left out.

# data[].attributes.body
Collaborative learning project-based learning through is a very motivating and facilitating learning, to assimilate and apply knowledge. I think the 'circle time' described in this video should always be present when there is teamwork, it is a very important way of evaluation for future projects.
I agree that 'Technology passe useful in class Especially When collaborative practices are used' either for search or for release of the final product.

It's very interesting the experience shared by the teacher in the movie!
It's a very rich experience in collaborative learning. Students not only learn the content, but also develop collaborative skills.
I have had some similar experiences, but with older students (12-15 years old). My students create learning resources in group (website, presentations, mind maps ...), as they develop their project they reflect on the work. Analyze what they have done, what remains to be done, identify problems or difficulties they had to face and present possible solutions. Reflect on the performance of each of the group members, they evaluate themselves and evaluate their peers by giving them advice on what to do to improve.
This type of learning experience brings many benefits if they are developed continuously. The positive effects can only be observed in the long run.
In negative terms, sometimes in heterogeneous groups, some members may struggle to keep pace with their peers. This implies a very close monitoring by the teacher. But I don't believe it's beneficial to work always with homogeneous groups. There must be a good dynamic management of group work, with continuous monitoring by the teacher to intervene in the most problematic situations.

We always do Circle Time after the club activities which students work together and they make some group activities. That is the most fruitful time of the teamwork. This king of participation improve the efficiency of the future works and they become more closer as a team. Technology is useful when the task is become easier, faster or funny with it.

# data[].attributes.body
I have made something similar to the "circle time". Each member of the group shared her/his views of collaborations within the group and their views of improvements.
Technology is useful in collaborative learning because today's children are surrounded with digital technology and the are familiar with it. It can further motivate children for learning.

I've had a similar experience three years ago with the pupils in a fourth class. It was a digital storytelling path to create an animated story. We first read a short history, we have divided into sequences and then, in small groups, the students have created one or more slides for each sequence using their scanned drawings and adding the audio track recorded with my help. All together, in the end, we have assembled the slides in one file.
While they were at work, I was able to observe and dynamics within the various groups together decided after consultation, took turns in performing various tasks and demonstrated a very high level of involvement.

No, I have  never carried out the "circle time" but it seems to be an excellent idea. Why have I never thought about it?

Setting is very important, as well as pupils' number and technology.
The presence of the Interactive Multimedia Board in the classroom is very useful. My classroom is VERY DIFFERENT. I work in a narrow crowded classroom with no IMB. But this allows me to promote the use of mobiles in classroom when students work in pairs or groups of 4 (Bring Your Own Device). I do think, nevertheless, that to see and touch reality in primary school is VERY IMPORTANT: to observe a real object/plant/animal or whatever... would be a MUST.

I have carried out Project Based learning activities asking my students to work in groups (cooperative learning). I have used circle time to start lessons or at the end of them to keep them quiet. I think that technology can support cooperation and collaboration a lot because students have to work together to reach a common aim.

# data[].attributes.body
We have something like first project presentation and discuss with students about positive and negative aspects of their work. The team members and other teams say what worked well and what should be improved. Sometimes they present their final work to the audience outside the school, so we draw conclusions for the future.
I totally agree to the statement about technology and collaboration. Students have access to all materials, they can add their work at school or at home, nothing is lost.... Besides students understand they can use technology for learning independently.

In my school we have a collaborative environment and some time every week for the students to work in their projects (they decide the subject matter), planning, researching and evaluating each session's work. When the work's presentation towards the class takes place, there's a evaluation like shown in the video. The evaluation also takes place during the sessions (teacher's observations).

I have carried out similar projects, etwinning projects which required collaboration and works in team but I ahve never used the circle time after to check and discuss how the work in groups went.

I don't have a whiteboard at schhol, and neither have I found the possibility of video conference interaction.
Anyway, I develop group projects all the time nd students are enthusiastic and excited about them.

Unfortunly i haven´t this resources in my classroom.
I've never worked the way as shown in video

using interactive whiteboard and video conference.
I think this methodology is quite interesting, as it focuses on student learning, motivating it and giving it autonomy.
