In fact, I do not know if I really know the differences between them. I usually make small groups (three or four students) and give the pupils a small project with a final activity or task they have to develop, so all of them have a common goal to achieve, but I usually try to make heterogeneous gropus in which it is me who distribute the different roles. Either way, they have to put all their work together, discuss in the group and, finally, present the best answer they have been able to find.

In fact, I move classroom each class and I do not usually reapeat classroom during the week. Probably this is the most important reason why I cannot distribute my students such as I would like. Additionally, we only have a PC with a projector cannon in the best case, being easy to work in a classroom without PC most of the time. However, I try to work in group whenever I can and I will go on doing this. I think cooperative and collaborative learning is one of the best methods to learn.]]> 2017-10-12 20:36:57 UTC https://padlet.com/fgarcia_tercero/rddp4e0dvqja/wish/196633109 fgarcia_tercero https://padlet.com/fgarcia_tercero/rddp4e0dvqja/wish/196634210 I would like to work more with small projects that allow my students be the really center of the teaching-learning process, however, I think it should be one the didactic's axes of the school.]]> 2017-10-12 20:41:43 UTC https://padlet.com/fgarcia_tercero/rddp4e0dvqja/wish/196634210 fgarcia_tercero https://padlet.com/fgarcia_tercero/rddp4e0dvqja/wish/196634980 I have been reading from your writings and I have taken some notes about tools I have to investigate a bit more deeply.

For example, we only have one hour per week to meet our subject peers and no time to meet other partners from other subjects. Additionally, to guarantee the quality of the collaboration between students or their assessment are also difficult tasks for the teacher.

In small groups, students should seek some information in Internet (I gave them some prepared links) about volcanos. They had to resume the information and make a presentation with some images explaining how and why they erupt. In addition, they had to seek at least two famous volcanos and write some statistics about them (last eruption, time between the two last eruptions, location...)

2) An activity with a high level of collaboration from students

In small groups, every group were given four different traffic signals with the necessary measures to calculate their area. Studens simulate to be a maintenance company who where asked to preapare a budget to repair all the signals given for the town hall. So, they had to calculate all the areas classified by colours, in order to know the quantity of pain they would need to repaint all the four signals. Then they should send a formal letter to the town hall inform]]> 2017-10-12 21:02:35 UTC https://padlet.com/fgarcia_tercero/rddp4e0dvqja/wish/196638740 fgarcia_tercero https://padlet.com/fgarcia_tercero/rddp4e0dvqja/wish/196644557 Why students enjoy group work
