Workshop: Cooperative and Collaborative Learning - 7 views

  •  
    To make the most out of this link, you'll want to explore beyond the first page because the entire website is a product. This website seems to stress the importance of doing cooperative learning that has much more structure than collaborative learning. In emphasizing the role structure plays in group dynamics, I am starting to see the differences between these "C" words more clearly.
  •  
    Melissa, You are right, going into the links made this post even more interesting. I found value in the difference between this theory and other learning techniques being the fact that students work together. I love this! When my students work together they learn so much more. Kids have a way of explaining things to each other that is amazing. I found the link about using it in conjunction with other techniques a little vague. Maybe I should sign up for the workshop. I know I could use the information. Thanks for sharing.

    This is an amazing resource! The videos and transcripts in the demonstration section are really good referents to define what specific behaviors we're looking for in terms of student collaboration. The exploration creates some guidance about how to look at and discuss the topics - I can totally imagine using this resource to work with a group of teachers on designing lessons that take advantage of cooperative groups.

The use of Twitter in the Creation of Educational Professional Learning Opportunities: ... - 4 views

  •  
    This study looked at how Twitter-using educators were using Twitter to collaborate, network, or engage in professional development
  •  
    Molly, I really enjoyed this article. It is especially relevant with this course. Honestly, I could never image using Twitter as any kind of professional resource, but after reading this and using Twitter for this class and one other, I can see how it would benefit educator to collaborate. It is also very easy to use. Thank you for sharing this article!
  •  
    Hi Molly, This is very appropriate for our class, especially since we are using Twitter to share articles and resources with each other - - in our own personal learning environment. I focused on the discussion portion of this article. I noticed that for educators, personal learning networks are important and useful for professional development. It was interesting that the study found greater use in high school environments (maybe because we are influenced by our students?). The benefits of Twitter and professional development, is that one can access and participate at any time and any location - - it is self-directed! I would be interested in finding out how to promote this type of professional development within a school. What type of training is needed for educators to get started? How would one track satisfaction and learning?

The community is the social part, including discussion and sharing. The practice is developing resources and collaborative tools. Example activities are provided along with social structures that are utilizing communities of practice.
