After being away from each other for so long collaboration in the classroom is a must! As a future educator it is important to incorporate collaboration into your classroom culture. Students must be able to discuss and share ideas with one another to increase student engagement. As a teacher you will have to create an inclusive and supportive classroom. This way students can feel comfortable and included in classroom activities. Students can work together to complete a variety of tasks, not only inside the classroom but outside the classroom as well.

There are many platforms that have become popular amongst young students. Educational tools like Minecraft Education Edition is an excellent example. Some teachers aren’t tech savvy so they can find ways to reverse the roles and have students teach them how to use it. Essentially, this becomes collaboration not just with the students but with the teacher too.
