What is collaborative learning?What do you understand collaborative learning to mean? In your experience of implementing collaborative learning in the classroom, have you witnessed academic achievement, student attitudes, engagement and retention being enhanced? What about the skills mentioned in the video – have you witnessed your students develop these as a result of collaborative learning?]]> 2016-10-24 21:24:34 UTC https://padlet.com/seagullitsa/mm8nxtdok0zg/wish/132860003 Module 1: What is collaborative learning?  seagullitsa https://padlet.com/seagullitsa/mm8nxtdok0zg/wish/132860118 1.2 Collaborative learning in a flexible classroom
Is your classroom set-up flexible and interactive like the one shown in the video? Without necessarily having access to flexible classroom furniture, has the video inspired you to see how you might make your classroom environment more collaboration friendly? What about the technology and online tools used by the students; have you used these with your students and have they effectively facilitated collaborative learning?]]> 2016-10-24 21:25:39 UTC https://padlet.com/seagullitsa/mm8nxtdok0zg/wish/132860118 Module 1: What is collaborative learning?  seagullitsa https://padlet.com/seagullitsa/mm8nxtdok0zg/wish/132860341 1.3 Collaborative learning through project-based learning
Have you ever carried out a similar exercise to the ‘circle time’ described in this video, where the teacher explicitly discusses with students how the group work went, what were the positive and negative aspects and what could be solutions for the future? If so, has this improved your students’ collaboration skills and have you seen evidence of this in collaborative work carried out afterwards? The teacher states that ‘Technology becomes useful in class especially when collaborative practices are used’. Do you agree, and why?]]> 2016-10-24 21:27:24 UTC https://padlet.com/seagullitsa/mm8nxtdok0zg/wish/132860341 Module 1: What is collaborative learning? seagullitsa https://padlet.com/seagullitsa/mm8nxtdok0zg/wish/132860562 1.4 A foreign language teacher’s experience of collaborative learning
In your experience of collaborative learning, is behavior management and getting students to stay on track a challenge? Do you agree that assessing collaborative learning is particularly difficult, and what are your experiences of this? How do you monitor teamwork? Do you find the ways mentioned in this video (e.g. through self and peer assessment) useful? What about the online tools mentioned?]]> 2016-10-24 21:29:49 UTC https://padlet.com/seagullitsa/mm8nxtdok0zg/wish/132860562 Module 1: What is collaborative learning?  seagullitsa https://padlet.com/seagullitsa/mm8nxtdok0zg/wish/132860624 1.5 A History & Geography teacher’s experience of collaborative learning
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? ]]> 2016-10-24 21:30:28 UTC https://padlet.com/seagullitsa/mm8nxtdok0zg/wish/132860624 Module 1: What is collaborative learning?  seagullitsa https://padlet.com/seagullitsa/mm8nxtdok0zg/wish/132860705 1.6 Module 1 Learning Activity

Would you say that the nature of your digital collaboration with teachers is equivalent to ‘sending and displaying’, as mentioned in the video, or more about processing, analyzing and sharing? Why do you think this is and can you give examples? Which digital tools would you recommend for teachers to use for collaborating and why?

What are your experiences of this, and what solutions have you tried to overcome this challenge? Do you agree that working with teachers from different disciplines can be very useful, and what are your  experiences of this? What are the conditions needed in your opinion for this to work?
I have experienced collaboration with a colleague on extra curriculum activities -Environmental Education and Comenius projects - when I was working in another school. It’s difficult to find time within the school day for collaboration. Usually we collaborated after school at home organizing our activities for the next meeting with our pupils.]]> 2016-11-18 22:08:04 UTC https://padlet.com/seagullitsa/mm8nxtdok0zg/wish/138844694 Module 4: How can teacher collaboration facilitate collaborative learning? seagullitsa https://padlet.com/seagullitsa/mm8nxtdok0zg/wish/138845772 4.8a Module 4 Learning Activity

Dear Kondylo,You have a great learning plan!I loved the topic! Also, you have good aims and I beleive that you can achieve the outcomes. It's a realistic plan with 6 different activities that you have shared in time in a good way!You describe what you and your students are going to do in an analytic way. I liked the use of ICT, the idea of a slogan and the idea of advertising!Congrats for your efforts!Keep up the good work!

When I was reading, I could since the beginning revcognize the " eTwinning imprinting" in this plan. Well alanced, project based activities, real outcomes, use of dogital tools as support and not as the goal of learning.. exchange, collaboration, sharing.. that is what eTwinning is introducing in schools in Europe, innovating didactics and sharing good practice. What I could add to a so oustanding job?PLEASE involve me and my school in the chocolate project!  

Thank you very much Neringa, Stavroula, Paola and Stavroula!

If so, how, and do you think this is motivating and beneficial for students? Do you work with teachers who are skeptical about collaboration, and what have you/will you try to help them see the advantages of this way of working?
I agree with the list of skills and conditions mentioned as necessary for teacher collaboration.  In my school there is collaboration only between teachers of the same subject because they have to teach the same units to prepare pupils for the final exams. so, how.]]> 2016-11-18 23:26:26 UTC https://padlet.com/seagullitsa/mm8nxtdok0zg/wish/138848963 My 4th badge seagullitsa https://padlet.com/seagullitsa/mm8nxtdok0zg/wish/138849102 2016-11-18 23:31:41 UTC https://padlet.com/seagullitsa/mm8nxtdok0zg/wish/138849102 Finished! seagullitsa https://padlet.com/seagullitsa/mm8nxtdok0zg/wish/138849245 2016-11-18 23:36:11 UTC https://padlet.com/seagullitsa/mm8nxtdok0zg/wish/138849245 Collaborative Teaching and Learning seagullitsa https://padlet.com/seagullitsa/mm8nxtdok0zg/wish/138897319 2016-11-19 21:04:33 UTC https://padlet.com/seagullitsa/mm8nxtdok0zg/wish/138897319 Hello to my Learning Diary seagullitsa https://padlet.com/seagullitsa/mm8nxtdok0zg/wish/138940089 If you want to learn more about me Click here to view my blog.]]> 2016-11-20 16:02:29 UTC https://padlet.com/seagullitsa/mm8nxtdok0zg/wish/138940089 European Schoolnet Academy seagullitsa https://padlet.com/seagullitsa/mm8nxtdok0zg/wish/205090100 #Teachers why not make a good start to the school year by enhancing your professional development for free?
