At Ormiston, we are using the word Collaborative which is another word for Collaboration.
What does Collaboration mean?
It means to work together in a group. It's to include everyone in it and never miss anyone out. It would also go with Team work because you need to work together as a team.
On the first day of Term 3, Ormiston's LH1 learners tried their best in two challenges.
The first one included us to take pictures and place them on Pic Collage. We had to work together to take the pictures and to complete the challenge. We worked together to count the chairs in the habitat and the cubbies.
The second challenge included the whole school. We had to work together to complete challenges that were different from the first ones. The best (and funny) one was when one of our team mates wore a eye mask while the others told that person where to go. From left to right and right to left. The aim was, if we touched one of the cones or the ropes or anything that are put under the ropes, we need to restart or give the eye mask to one of our other team mates.
I think using the word Collaboration for Term 3 is a really and I mean really good idea. It was really interesting to see everyone working together and using team work.

Ka pai Jasmine,
ReplyDeleteYou have described the collaboration challenges well and how your team worked together. What is a goal that you have for improving how you collaborative? What are the strategies that effective collaborators use? What rules were on your hand poster? I look forward to your responses.

DeleteMy goal is to be able to share my ideas with my group so maybe they
could relate to it. My strategies are - to share our ideas and thoughts and to use Team Work. My rules were - to be friendly and kind to your team mates, to share our ideas, to use Team Work, to share our thoughts, to always agree on our teams ideas (like, when one of our team members share a idea, we shouldn't go like "Your ideas dumb")

Hi Jasmine,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the response- some fabulous ideas here! My one question for you to really think about is whether it is good to 'always' agree on the ideas of others? Do you think you can disagree and still be collaborative?

DeleteYes, you can disagree on someone's idea but what I was saying was that, if you disagree on that person's idea, you should tell them in a nice way instead of telling them in a mean way. I feel that when you tell a person something in a nice way, their feelings wouldn't get too hurt. Just tell them and they would understand that it's good but it may not work.
