Thanks for your response, Charmaine! I have also found that by discussing and/or reviewing content together, they also have the opportunity to see concepts from a different perspective. I gave students an objective test, individually at first, then collected it from each student. The next evening, I divided them into learning groups and handed each group a blank copy of the same test to collaborate on the answers (they had to remember their selections from the day before without their individual tests in front of them). Each group then gave me their team consensus on the correct answers. Students received a percentage of the team score and a percentage of their individual scores (or 100% of their individual scores if better) so it was a win-win. In all cases but one, the team score was higher than individual scores. Several students remarked that they learned more about the material from the collboration than from taking the test. I wouldn't suggest doing this every time, but it was an interesting learning experience. Jay Hollowell ED106 Facilitator
