Comments about the Cooperative Learning: Elia Rueda Molina

Musical Chairs

This one was the first group to start with presentations about cooperative learning. They did a well job, was a good presentation. They spoke with their own words about cooperative learning. Maybe, it could have been better if they weren’t the first group, because being the first group it’s a little difficult, you don’t know if the theory is right, the time,… Apart of explain the theory, they did a poster.

The activity was a good example of cooperative learning. We look for information of different countries in groups, and we had to decorate the boxes, and finally, we had to explain it to the rest of the class.

Amigos del Football

They did a powerpoint to present their project. I liked this group because of their raport, and ones helping their group members. They defined the method of cooperative learning, and how it can be used. They also treated the advantages and difficulties of cooperative learning. They explain us that it’s so important to reward all children in a class, and it’s so important the motivation too.

They give us in the presentation too much information, and ideas weren’t clear at all.

Their activity was like a Diana, to make children know better everyone in the group. We did a Diana, and we part it in 4 ( four members in the group), and in each part we put a thing about us, like favourite colour, film, hobbies,… When we finished the Diana, we had to talk about our group.

Team Perk

Team perk did a great work, good presentation. They used their own photos, of the school of Irina’s mom, because she is a teacher. The didn’t use all the time the powerpoint, the gave us own ideas. All the group participated equally, and the help among them.

The activity was in groups, with a ball, we have to say a rule and pass the ball to other of the group, and we had 1 minute. When the minute finished, the one that had the ball, had to come to the blackboard and put the rules he or she remember. And make a reflexion of all of them. The objectives were cooperative learning, having fun and memorize.

The unknowns

This group did a prezi, with all the ideas and information that they had about Cooperative learning. Making a prezi, they did the presentation more visual, to make us understand it better.

They did a Index, telling us of what they were going to talk. Any group did it before.

Their activity was about make a circle, the whole group, and pass a ball saying things that we like or we don’t like. The objective of the activity was to know the class better, and to know what things we have in common with our classmates.

Cronicas Viajeras

Their presentation was like a explication of a travel tour, giving examples like planeo r things to thake in the suitcase. They relationed their name with their information abut cooperative learning that they give us. Was so original and dynamic, I liked it.

The activity was call ‘La maleta’, the suitcase. We had to bring to class something that remind us to a travel,a memory, and givin reason of why they give us memories. First we did it in groups, and then, we had to explain to all the class, but not our, we had to explain the object of our classmate.

Dumblendore teacher’s army

They made a powerpoint explaning some ideas of cooperative learning, as his definition, why it is good to do it, how we can form group,…

Their powerpoint was based in the Harry Potter news papper, the Daily Prophet.

They put new ideas, like for example individual accountability.

Their activity was an interview, in pairs. We had to answer some questions to know each others, and finally, we had to go to the blackboard to talk about our parner.

Wanderslust

I think this one was my favourite group. They make videos, with themself, explaining the cooperative learning unit. It was so visual, and let us clear ideas, it was good for us, and if they had to explain to children, they will give good use to those videos.

They went deeper with type of teams and techniques.

In the activity they did groups, and individually we had to put in a paper things about cooperative learning things we learn in their presentation, and in all the presentations. Then, with the groups we had to put ideas in common. They focus their activity like a sum, because they were the last group.
