Module 7 Activity 9 Collaborative Learning

Collaborative learning involves mutual engagement between members of a group working towards a common goal.  It involves using problemsolving and critical thinking skills to solve problems as they arise when doing tasks.  As a teacher, I see the merit of using this method to develop my students social skills and basically give them an opportunity to deal with their own learning.  They will depend upon each other for decisions that need to be made and steps to be taken to successfully complete an activity.  The teacher in this case will only act as guide.
