1.    Understand the full meaning of collaborative learning, and that it requires more than teachers simply putting students in groups

2.    Appreciate the key benefits collaborative learning can bring to students and the specific skills it helps develop

3.    Appreciate how collaborative learning can be facilitated by a flexible, interactive classroom, and also through project-based learning

4.    Create a personal Learning Diary to log learning activities, reflections and resources from the course.

5.    Reflect in your Learning Diary on two learning activities and whether they require a low or high level of collaboration from students

Collaborative learning refers to methodologies and environments in which learners engage in a common task in which each individual depends on and is accountable to each other.  I'am agree with the keys fixed in the video above:
Leadership competences

Self-evaluation skill

Presentations skills

Skills of persuasion and negotiation

Team working skill

The video has English subtitles to facilitate understanding

Reflect on some recent learning activities you have carried out with your class in the past year, which have included some level of collaboration, 

In my experience of collaborative learning I have obtained excellent results so the time for organization is useful for the development of the skills

In the third class we are working on code.ord and their collaborative learning is about works , how cryptography keeps data secure, and other concepts

In the fifth class, the students follow the sites of CERN and NASA publishing the news on a newspaper

 

1.    Understand how to embed collaborative learning into lesson design

2.    Appreciate the four dimensions of collaborative learning concerning group work, shared responsibility, making substantive decisions, and interdependent work

3.    Understand how the 21st Century Learning Design Collaboration Rubric and Learning Scenarios can help you reflect and design collaborative learning activities

4.    Assess the two collaborative learning activities you described in Module 1, using the 21 CLD Rubric, and report in your Learning Diary

The ideas are good point of start, infact  in a collaborative activity it is important that the students supporting one another, and growing as a learning community. make decisions based on creative thinking, communication, and collaboration

1.    Understand the principles of assessing collaborative learning

2.    Appreciate the various challenges teachers face in assessing collaborative learning and the tips, tools and solutions available

3.    Understand the value of using rubrics and checklists for assessing collaborative learning, and how to construct them

4.    Appreciate the importance of involving students in the definition of assessment tools used for collaborative learning

5.    Start creating one or more lesson plans integrating collaborative learning and assessment using the Learning Designer

The importance of  collective formative assessment is to create a sense of a learning community because each student can see how their individual pieces add up to something greater when they collaborate.

Sometimes I ask them to realize individual outcomes. I think that the two aspects are important, but it is necessary to be clear,  timely  and involve the students  with self assessment. 

I have appreciated the reflections and the questions about metacognitive analysis, which contributes to the self-assessment of students' thinking on the quality configuration of the team work. 

Metacognition means "thinking about thinking" is the ability of self-reflection of the ongoing cognitive processes.

 

I think that peer assessment is important for learning activities.

 

A valid way to constructively check the individual participation and performance within collaborative work is to use a  rubric that clearly articulates the different behavioral components of participation and that describes these behaviors at different performance levels

1 – It is a student-centered process

 2 - Promotes students involvement in the assessment tasks 

3 – Promotes students responsibility and motivation towards the learning process 

4 – Promotes self-reflection and students argumentation 

5 - Students can learn socially from each other 

6 – Promotes digital literacy through the use of digital web 2.0 applications

 7 – Promotes development of 21st century skills and competences

The two projects, as well as usually are all the Etwinning projects, are really interesting.

I am totally agree with the seven benefits of collaborative learning assessment and in my experience of collaborative learning I have observed  the same challenges and the same problems,  like Antonio.

I think that the methodological process which is used in collaborative learning need to  be applied to all disciplines and classes.

Through ICT, teachers are able to create interactive classes and make the lessons more enjoyable, which could improve student attendance and concentration.

I usually use Padlets and Google Forms . I didn’t know the others

1.       Appreciate the benefits of teacher collaboration and how best to take advantage of them, as well as the challenges, and tips and tools for overcoming them

2.       Understand the required skills needed by teachers for effective collaboration, as well as the conditions needed at school level for teacher collaboration to flourish

3.       Understand how technology can facilitate teacher collaboration

4.       Finalize the development of one or more lesson plans integrating collaborative learning and assessment, as well as elements of teacher collaboration, using the Learning Designer.

5.       Peer review the collaborative learning lesson plans of two course participants.

I don't like to use social networks, except Whatsapp, 

I think that teachers don't  have the required skills to take advantage of digital technologies. 

 

I'm agree with the teacher training. In my school we rarely collaborating  and sharing experience, there is scepticism by my collegues. 23p2
