interesting topic so...

maxrayner 20:01

grouped tables of 4 work well for group work and allow for

cooperative learning, table leaders to enforce rules keep group on

task #ukedchat

dailydenouement 20:01So #ukedchat How do we make group work a collaborative

learning experience & not a "sit off" for the majority?

dailydenouement 20:03How many schools have embraced Kagan structures? #ukedchat

deerwood 20:03 When considering group work, we have to decide if we want pupils

to work together or for each to have a role within group #ukedchat

colport 20:03 @MrKp Can you share a link for info for #ukedchat please?

kenradical 20:03#ukedchat is collaborative learning something we need to learn

explictly, or something we do naturally?

katiepiatt 20:03 @MrKp tell us about Kagan, what is that? #ukedchat

jackieschneider 20:10#ukedchat - the task has to require teamwork. Obvious but

bevevans22 20:10

#ukedchat sometimes setting group challenge that only works if

tasks are shared makes them realise the importance of

collaboration #ukedchat

dailydenouement 20:10Do you have set roles for group work or do you modify to suit

task? #ukedchat

the objective/lesson can be a gr8 motivator?! #ukedchat

Have you blogged about it, or are you sharing with us tonight?


@katiepiatt #ukedchat agree, being PE trained, my natural choice

is sport or dance or some form of physical activity- even

teambuilding

dailydenouement 20:11 Do people use group activities as a differentiation strategy?#ukedchat

completed with minimal effort. Where is the learning in that?
