Collaboration

I believe that it is important for all educators to include different activities in their lesson plans for the day that include some sort of collaboration.  It gives the students a chance to interact and work together with their peers, but it also gets them up from their seats and moving around the classroom.  Not all students can sit at their desk for multiple hours and be able to concentrate on the lesson in front of them.  

Collaboration is another method that helps students who are unconventional learners.  They might be more successful at comprehending the material by learning the information from someone who is their age, rather than from the teacher.  By listening to their peers during the collaborative activities, they hear another perspective of the material and may be able to process the information better.

  1. I agree with your statement that collaboration is a good way for students to learn from their peers rather than the teacher. It is also a study tool of sorts, where ideas can be reestablished and reexplained in a different way that may make more sense.
