Project based learning focuses on collaboration and enhances classroom community
Formative assessment - assessment FOR learning not assessment OF learning
Gamification - levels to pass, progress bar, unlocking challenges, badges, rewards, leaderboard

I teach math and science. In science I always use Project based learning, an excellent methodology built around projects, but at the same time centered on the student.
Students learn to:
- manage problem-solving by drawing information from different sources and disciplines (thus developing the holistic sense and enhancing interdisciplinarity);
- they work in cooperative-learning mode;
- they learn to better manage their time and material resources.

In mathematics I often use Kahoot, Worldwall, and online group tests.

Padlet, Kahoot, Voice Thread, Voki, Genially, any PBL activities related to topic, gamification and so on.
Groups are rearranged every so often through a map system: students with the city of Paris work together, NY together, etc ( the teacher arranges groups depending on activity, sometimes mixed-ability groups work better and some others same-ability groups with teacher help on low-levels works better; this is arranged at teacher discretion). My key word is collaboration.

Very recently I asked students to create a fruit smoothie recipe of their own. They were given a list of varied ingredients, and were invited to make the combinations they thought best to obtain a successful result. Prior to this, they had seen videos where they learnt how to prepare a fruit smoothie. They were excited with the idea. They did it in small groups. They chose the ingredients, gave a name to their recipe, and wrote it, naming the ingredients, the quantities, the utensils, and describing the steps to make a fruit smoothie. Then, they realised they wanted to try their own recipe. So, they decided to do it at home, at the weekend. They even made short videos showing all the steps that had been described on the paper. They were ready (and eager) to show the result of their creativity to the other groups. And so, every group presented their video to the class and explained how to prepare a delicious fruit smoothie. Collaboration is the name of this successful recipe.

I use project work with small groups, so that everyone can give their idea. We continue the project with your ideas that improve through the questions they are asking. All ideas are valid for the group, sometimes we have to try to clarify the thought and express the idea better.

Class Rules are always performed in pairs. At the end of the week when the evaluated take place, the fundamental question is: Did everyone help for the task is successful performed? Instead of asking if each child did well the task. What matters is that all the children have been able to help themselves to get the tasks done correctly. Tasks change every week and everyone has to go through all the tasks, so they also understand what it's like to be in the role of others.

In kindergarten we started to work in the group dimension. Initially a restricted group with few elements in which they hear and understand each other.
Respect for what the other says, the importance of each one, what the other can bring to the group is very important to start this path of beginning so individualistic.

Five ways to collaborate wherever and whenever

Here are five ways to promote collaboration both in the physical classroom setting as well as the virtual learning space. With each of these ideas, teachers can have students working together using different digital tools or teaching strategies. Beyond the content involved, students will build their communication, collaboration, critical thinking, problem-solving skills and develop the SEL skills at the same time.

Learning stations when used in the classroom open up more possibilities for personalized learning, for social interactions, and the building of relationships between students and between the teacher and students. Using between three and five stations in the classroom, depending on class size and grade level, teachers can have students work together through a series of learning activities. Selecting a mix of digital tools, hands-on learning activities, and teacher-directed instruction creates a good mix of ways for students to engage with the content. For some, giving students the option to collaborate and design their own way of practicing the content can lead to new ideas for the whole class. Encourage students to team teach and take more of a leadership role in the classroom.
Cross-curricular collaboration: How about working with another curricular area or even grade level? Find a connector between your class and that of a colleague. Create a task where the students in both of your classes must collaborate on the same project while you do the same. Maybe you use project-based learning (PBL) in your class and you want to share that framework with a colleague or it is something that you are hoping to learn from a colleague. Find a common bond between your courses and start collaborating. I connected with an eighth-grade science teacher and our students used Buncee to create their presentation. This past year, my students connected with students in Spain and shared backgrounds, interests and other facts about their lives by leveraging technology tools to exchange information. Working together with colleagues to create these opportunities for students and helping students to engage in more meaningful learning makes a
Beyond Classroom Discussions: Have you had a great discussion going in class just to have it interrupted by the bell? Or have you tried to encourage students to share their ideas but have not been successful? How about getting students to share ideas on important topics, by using some of the digital tools available for curating material or gathering feedback. We have many tools available that when leveraged with purpose, can add great benefits for student learning and student confidence. Some of the options are using things like Padlet to create a wall for discussion where students can post comments and respond to classmates. Try Wakelet to post an idea or a theme and ask students to share and create resources. To get students speaking more, use Flipgrid to create short videos as a prompt for students to discuss. Or try having students create a podcast using tools like Anchor or Synth. Which enable students to create on their own, and using Synth, students can ask and answer questions asynchronously. These are just a few quick digital ways to promote collaboration.
Collaborative Creations: When it comes to having students do more creating in the classroom, we have a ton of resources and materials to choose from. Giving students the option of using traditional formats versus digital formats is something that I do a lot in my own classroom. I want my students to have choices, however I also want them to build some other skills like online collaboration and designing. There are many tools that are adding features for students to create together. Beyond the collaborative options within Microsoft and Google, students can now work with emerging technologies. Using tools like CoSpaces and 3DBear, students can work together to create augmented and virtual reality spaces for digital storytelling. With either of these options, students work together in ways that build collaborative skills while also connecting them with more authentic and meaningful learning experiences.
Blogging and Website Design: Blogging offers so many benefits in addition to building literacy skills and helping students to share ideas in a more authentic way. It also offers an effective way to build relationships between students as they exchange ideas, offer peer feedback and engage in more conversations in the classroom and online. Teachers can learn more about students and their interests, and use these ideas to create additional opportunities for collaboration within the classroom and with global peers. Tools such as Kidblog or Edublogs are good options. Creating a group project can be done using many different presentation formats, but one which helps students to build skills transferable for the future is in designing a website. Students in my school created websites for History Day and had a great artifact of learning to share and developed skills which will benefit them in the future.

First of all I set clear goals for the group which cannot be too big, usually around 4 to 6 students max. I try to monitor group work of my students and immediately when I see there's a problem - interpersonal/emotional I try to deal with it straight away. Communication is the key in my opinion so it must be open. Depending on tasks I give a particular roles to students. Students collaboration is especially well developed while they deal with a real-life problems they know - familiarity builds up their interest and engagement.

I teach chemistry and I tried to improve the abilities of my students regarding reading and writing chemical formulas. I made up play cards showing formulas or names of different substances (in pairs), one set for each group of students. After they split the cards in equal numbers for each of them, they had to find the pairs properly asking each other. Among the cards, there was a Joker card. At the end of playing, who got the Joker had to name ten formulas which I showed him and he get a mark. They collaborate a lot inside the group so that the student who has Joker to be well prepared for his response. Of course, the benefits are for everybody.

I really like applying PBL in the classroom which is based on collaboration . Which particular strategy I am going to apply depends on the topic we work on. It is important to make students aware that everybody's role is equally important and that they should rely on each other as well as encourage each other in accomplishing assigned tasks.
