Collaborative Learning, by Phil Stubbs
Collaboration between People, Communities, and Tools. Stubbs is giving really amazing examples of collaboration. Surprisingly, they don't look that difficult to do...
___Older students collaborate with younger students
- 8 year olds design a book for 4 year olds.
- They surveyed the 4 year olds on what books they like
- Authentic audience, authentic problem, authentic solution!
Students collaborate with parents and grandparents - Survey grandparents and parents on where they have been in the world (show world map)
- They collect pictures from grandparents, parents and their own photos so that they can see how the world has changed over time.
Collaboration between students across schools - Project on the holocaust project. Different schools on a single platform with separate forum groups. Wow.
- Teachers get a trail of everything a student posts. Possible to plot the student's learning journey.
Outside experts - Parents who are experts, for example a marine engineer.
- Real-life professionals such as architects and designers to be consultants to the students.
Global collaborations - Six year olds in Hong Kong collaborating with Inuit kids!
- Kids all over the world writing a nonsense poem together in a forum.
