Collaborations in the Classroom

Collaboration is an important and useful tool to be used in many different circumstances within many environments a person might be in. There are many ways that people collaborate in their everyday activities, such as in work environments (meetings, communicating, and helping each other), communities (church groups and support through adversities), and schools (study groups, group work, etc.). In the classroom, collaboration is important to help students gain knowledge about the material in different ways and help them understand the material better.

Two collaborators working together and forming new ideas.

While working alone, students may only know limited information and form their ideas around that limited amount, but if they work with another student who may have different ideas and information, then they can include that in their work.

Collaboration offers a lot in school systems such as ways to:

  • Teach students how to work productively with others for their lives after school.
  • Reach out to other teachers and gain ideas for assignments.
  • Provide students with a way to work with others with little issues.

A good example of collaboration in the world after school is the science community. Scientists from all over the world share and compare data every day to develop new theories and ideas and change old ones.

AI Projects for Secondary Education

The book I found the most interesting was on the different AI projects for students at a secondary education level. This book interested me because I want to pursue a career in secondary education and would like to encourage the use of technology for students to learn. The start of the book defines AI, lists ways that AI can be useful, and explains why the use of AI can be useful in a class setting.

Chat GPT is a popular use of AI that is commonly seen negatively, but with proper use, it is a great tool.

AI is a good tool for education because it can offer a lot of help, such as:

  • support of productivity and learning
  • increase students consumerism of medias
  • encourage investigative skills

These are good tools for the classroom because students can use these skills to write informative essays or projects without relying on the instructor too heavily. This can give the instructor time to give feedback on assignments instead of constantly answering questions.
