What is collaboration all about?

Collaboration or Cooperation?




These are great on their own but put them together and make something magical.

Collaboration - Common goal, vision, direction
Cooperation - doing the tasks and bringing them together

How do we prevent children getting lost in collaborative learning spaces?

Collaboration should be driven by what is bet for the children evidence, not by personal beliefs about what is best for them.

Language is important when setting up these spaces
