After teaching the concept for that day the teacher will then group the students in collaborative groups so they can expand their learning about the concept. This could include small group activities, group discussions, and/or working together to deepen an idea from the lesson.]]> 2022-03-27 14:34:00 UTC https://padlet.com/hdunning1/l1eqy60db6q73c04/wish/2115609443 Strategy #1 Info hdunning1 https://padlet.com/hdunning1/l1eqy60db6q73c04/wish/2115610708 Cooperative learning –for cooperative learning the groups that were formed are used to help the students work together to deep in an idea from the new knowledge that they have previously learned. They are then given a task that the teacher wants everyone in the group to contribute to help each one of them learn from their classmates and to help each other with misconceptions that might arise during the group question or activity.]]> 2022-03-27 14:35:34 UTC https://padlet.com/hdunning1/l1eqy60db6q73c04/wish/2115610708 Strategy #2 Info hdunning1 https://padlet.com/hdunning1/l1eqy60db6q73c04/wish/2115610988 Cooperative Comparisons-with cooperative comparisons the group is given a certain question activity to go off on their own and complete. They are then instructed to come back to their group to discuss their work/findings. They can then compare what they have worked on and see what their classmates have done as well. This also allows them to discuss what each other did with the knowledge today compared to what they have learned in previous lessons.]]> 2022-03-27 14:35:56 UTC https://padlet.com/hdunning1/l1eqy60db6q73c04/wish/2115610988 Strategy #3 Info hdunning1 https://padlet.com/hdunning1/l1eqy60db6q73c04/wish/2115611431 Performances and Peer Critiques– in performances and critiques students are to give feedback to other classmates' work. This can allow the students to put constructive feedback into words or other creative designs to help other classmates understand the concept. This also helps the individual understand the concept even more if they are able to explain what needs improvement or what is correct about the knowledge content of their classmate's work. It then leads to group discussions about any misconceptions found.]]> 2022-03-27 14:36:30 UTC https://padlet.com/hdunning1/l1eqy60db6q73c04/wish/2115611431 Ideas for how technology can enhance each of these strategies. hdunning1 https://padlet.com/hdunning1/l1eqy60db6q73c04/wish/2115614428
Team Maker- can randomly designate students to what group they are going to be working with 

Tip: Making sure students pair well with one another or are academically balanced to prevent having them struggle 

Computers can allow students to do many different activities with their group about the concept they are learning.

Notetaking apps (Evernote), video recording apps, Google Drive: can help students organize their materials all in one place, as well as utilize different ways of note-taking (typing, audio, multimedia)

Tip: Make sure that each app can be located similarly for the whole class to easily collaborate with classmates

Interactive Whiteboard, screencast tools: These tools can allow students to present their work to classmates and allow collaboration between them over the topic

Tip: setting aside enough time in instruction for individual whiteboard presentations of work

Post links to screencasts to the class website, tablets to record/edit, Prezi : these tools can allow students to give feedback to other students within their small groups. This helps not take away a lot of instructional time to present each individual student in front of the class.

Tips: expectations beforehand of commenting on others' work. What is helpful/not helpful.
