interesting topic so...
maxrayner 20:01
grouped tables of 4 work well for group work and allow for
cooperative learning, table leaders to enforce rules keep group on
task #ukedchat
dailydenouement 20:01So #ukedchat How do we make group work a collaborative
learning experience & not a "sit off" for the majority?

maxrayner 20:58 tasks need to be designed specifically for it and kids need clear
idea of guidelines and roles as well as outcome #ukedchat

craftyslh 20:58 thanks for all the links to new ideas to incorporate group work withmy students. #ukedchat - can't wait to think outside the box.
Creativeedu 20:58 Collaboration is a great tool for learning especially if taken beyond
the classroom and beyond simple group work #UKEdChat
bilehs 20:58 Flashmeeting, skype, etwinning and global gateway are fab for
collaboration with other schools, anywhere in world #ukedchat
IslingtonEMAS 20:58 @ICTmagic #ukedchat NC: it gets explictly taught?
ICTmagic 20:59
Collaborative work is the bedrock of teaching in the modern
classroom. It how people work in the real world because it worksbest. #ukedchat
sh_hanes 20:59#ukedchat excellent chat tonight! Thanks everyone, I think we
deserve 10/10 for modelling good group learning!
dailydenouement 20:59 Indeed! Cheers everyone. RT @Arakwai: Wow, busy #ukedchat this
evening. Great range of thoughts and ideas.
smnhunt 20:59#ukedchat There's no such thing as copying, only sharing!
@jackieschneider
davidhunter 20:59Anyone here use kagan style. Would like to start a little network
group. #ukedchat
carolinebreyley 20:59 @jackieschneider #ukedchat Need to work with some parents to
help them understand that it won't cause copying
tim7168 20:59
RT @jackieschneider: #ukedchat - you can't accuse kids of copying
one min & then expect them to share\ collaborate the next! We
need more collaboration
gregperry_ 20:59 @CreativeEdu Specific instructions helps grpwk go well behaviour
wise. Numbering the roles, using a talk stick help too. #ukedchat

catch interesting chat going on, thanks!

@dailydenouement #ukedchat Absolutely assessment drives the
teaching. If group work is assessed, teachers will find ways to teach
it.
paappleton 21:00Squeezing a normal half terms worth of work into a four week half
term is sooo not a good idea... #ukedchat

bilehs 21:01@SimonBainbridge That's why mantle of the expert is so fab -
preparation for working life! #ukedchat
Creativeedu 21:02@dailydenouement thanks for a great #UKEdChat and good luck to
your BTEC students!
alexgingell 21:02Great #ukedchat session this evening - joined late but learnt lots!
Loads of very interesting ideas! Thanks all!
tim7168 21:02 @BenRogersOVA Massively agree. If assessment built in, group
work becomes more integral to classroom. #ukedchat
Grevster73 21:02@tim7168 is copying bad though or just an exchange of a good
idea? #ukedchat
davidhunter 21:02 @tim7168 will do. Didn't seem to be much mention tonight (just
logged in) but plays a huge part of my philosophy #ukedchat

Creativeedu 21:02Anyone got any ideas from tonight's #UKEdChat that they're going
to use in the classroom tomorrow?
mikeatedji 21:02#ukedchat @dailydenouement Thank you and to everyone.
Engaging, hectic, informativissimo
SimonBainbridge 21:02RT @bilehs That's why mantle of the expert is so fab - preparation

@BenRogersOVA #ukedchat Isn't it though?! I love it. The kids love
it. The staff become animated, even after 4pm!
#greatlearningopportunity
ICTmagic 21:02 @Mr_P_Teach Rod for their own back and damaging the life
chances of children in their care. Makes me sad. #ukedchat
tim7168 21:03 @Grevster73 Often it is good, but sometimes mindlessly trying to
get task done so won't get into trouble. #ukedchat

@BenRogersOVA #ukedchat True-primaries can be phenomenal-
having trained both sec & pri colleagues- loads to learn from KS3+
as well!

Grevster73 21:06@colport great #ukedchat - missed a few weeks - got me thinking
again

Couldn't keep up!
bevevans22 21:06Another great #ukedchat. Thanks everyone - lots of great ideas!
Now time for a cuppa and a biccie thinks I :)
tim7168 21:07@Grevster73 Agreed. Need to establish 'good copying' vs not
trying! #ukedchat
craftyslh 21:07
@bilehs to keep up with #ukedchat I thoroughly recommend
www.twitterfall.com you hover over a message and it all pauses
while you catch up.
clairelowe2 21:07
#ukedchat need to teach collaborative skills it doesn't happen by
osmosis. Abiloty Groups gd for guided work but rest of time mixed
is best
Creativeedu 21:08I'm going to compile a post of tips about how to get the most out
of #UKEdChat please tweet me your top tips.
