My experience with online communities has been …
- This class has been my only experience with an online community.
I believe the biggest benefit of collaborative groups is …
- a variety of views and opinions. Everyone thinks about things in a different way and has a different viewpoint on topics or projects. The group can get a wide variety of answers to questions and a wide variety of ways of accomplishing the task at hand.
I believe the greatest challenge is/would be …
- coordinating work time with group members and also equal work. Depending on the nature of the class it can be very difficult to coordinate a meeting time with group members, especially with adults. It would be a little easier with high school and younger classes as class time can be given to work together. Equal work can be a great challenge for groups. Sometimes groups can have one member that will take charge and think that they are the only one that knows how or what to do. Or one or more group members could fall behind on their share of the work.
My thoughts regarding the social development and socialization issues are … - I think it is very important for students to work collaboratively to develop socially. For many students that is how they learn to work with others and work cooperatively with people that they may have not thought they could.
