I would write the task in slightly different ways. In individual learning, I
would say, ‘Write down your thoughts on this and submit it to your teacher as an
email.’ If I wrote it as a cooperative assignment, I would say something like
this, ‘Discuss this with a colleague or a peer student. Using this discussion as
a background, you should submit your assignment as an email to your teacher.’ If
I should write it as the third alternative, collaborative learning, I would say
something like this, ‘Contact a peer student and write the assignment together,
and submit it as something you have written together to your teacher in an
email.’
Erik Keith on 10 Sep 12The GLOBE Program (http://www.globe.gov) is taking this opportunity to salute teachers everywhere----for all of the things you do----for inspiring your students and cultivating the love of learning. Teachers are the backbone of our educational system. They encourage, inspire and challenge us to reach new heights and dream without boundaries. The GLOBE Program Office in Boulder, Colorado produced this video for teachers everywhere. We encourage you to watch it, send it to your fellow (or favorite) teachers, school administrators, friends and family members. Encourage them to share it with their network as well so that everyone may pause for a moment and truly appreciate the teachers who made a difference in their lives.
