Why Create a Collaborative Classroom?
Today’s college and career readiness standards reflect the importance of collaboration skills, and both colleges and employers are looking for individuals with these skills. Therefore, having students work in teams to research a topic or solve a problem and then present their findings to their group or to the class as a whole is becoming part of what we do inside the classroom to prepare students for the world. Collaborative learning doesn’t just benefit students. Teachers benefit as well. For instance, collaborative learning makes classroom management easier. When teachers assign tasks to students in groups, they can monitor progress by checking in on five or six different groups instead of 25 individual students. A collaborative classroom also allows teachers to cover more ground in the curriculum because each group can be assigned a different portion of a topic. Key Challenges to Digital Collaboration.
