Collaboration

When designing collaborative activities it is important to include the three elements of collaboration; interpersonal communication, task management, and conflict resolution. The same activities do not work for all levels. Activities need to be designed to fit a particular skill level that way students have the knowledge and ability to do the certain activity.  Each students may have different view about working together as groups like some may like it and some may dislike it. But I think it's a great way for student to develop communicating skills and interact with other students. As discussed in class students can have a problem with peer evaluation because they don't want to judge their own classmates or criticize their work. But it's a good way for students to learn from their mistakes and get thoughts from their peers that way they can fix theirs mistakes. If students didn't want to let others know who peer reviewed their work they can make it anonymous which I thought would be helpful to students.
