The information that i have read from my classmates and the document are very important points. Students need to know that everything does not need to be done alone. They need to know that they can collaborate with others on things. I know one thing that students have a hard time with cooperating or collaborating on is group projects. Group projects everybody has to do their part or else the project is going to be a mess and it is going to be all over the place.
From the looks of the google doc, every one sees a lot of positive that comes from collaborating. One bad thing is that students tend to not care and they end up making everyone else fail. I experienced that once in high school where one of my partners did not want to help, so we made an executive vote with our teacher to not allow then to come back to our group.That is one way to solve it but sometimes you may have to give them a little push also. That extra little push my help them want to collaborate and give ideas to the project. I know that students procrastinate and wait til the last minute but if it is something that sparks their interest then they may try and complete things faster or actually want to do the assignment.
Hi there Jelysa, I feel that it is so important for collaboration to be a tool used in all classrooms. Without collaboration there is little room for acceptance of other ideas from one another, I feel that when you collaborate you are able to expand your ideas and learn more everyday.
