Editor's Notes
- Learning in groups means that you need to share your knowledge and ideas with other students. When you work as a group on a project or assignment, then you have the opportunity to draw on the different strengths of group members, to produce a more extensive and higher quality project or assignment than you could complete on your own. To do this effectively you need to learn group work skills, which are an extremely important part of your professional development. In most professions, people are required to work in multidisciplinary project teams or teams with a responsibility for a specific task. Many professional organizations and employer groups stress the importance of interpersonal and group skills, such as communication, negotiation, problem solving, and teamwork. These skills can be as important as your subject knowledge in enabling you to be an effective professional.
- Learning and working effectively as part of a team or group is an extremely important skill, and one that you will refine and use throughout your working life. Group projects should be among the most valuable and rewarding learning experiences. For many students, however, they are also among the most frustrating.
- The ability to conduct research is a critical skill students need to be college and career ready. To support struggling students, who may face difficulties in carrying out this process, teachers can use a range of technology tools to personalize instruction. Primary research can include: Interviews, Surveys, Questionnaires, Observations and analysis, and Ethnography (the study and description of people, cultures, and customs).
- One of the best ways to get students using technology in your classroom is through presentations. Communication allows the group members a choice of how to present their final project to the class and others. It also allows students to interject some creativity. No matter what the topic, creating colorful slideshows and engaging materials helps students get their point across and gives them a chance to learn best practices for using software to help them organize their thoughts.
- The single classroom computer was once very popular. Teachers were creative in devising schedules and other methods to provide every student with computer time. There is also technology, MultiPoint by Microsoft, that allow many mice to be attached to one computer so that several students can interact through that single computer at one time. Teacher Tool Keep records, manipulate information, produce individual letters to parents. Produce a class newsletter. Create customized follow-up work for lessons. Make personalized certificates of achievement. Create customized graphic organizers and direction sheets. Create charts, student lists and name tags. Communicate with other professionals and subject experts via email.
