Collaboration is essential to growth. In this course, we had multiple opportunities to work with peers and grow our collaboration skills. Through multiple projects and peer reviews as well as discussions with peers we have worked to collaborate in order to explore new strategies, identify relevant digital content, evaluate different technology tools, and support each other in order to enhance our professional development for the betterment of our student's education.
The group hyperdoc project was a great opportunity to work n collaboration. In this project we all worked together towards a common goal and yet ahjd individual components to add to the final project. This project specifically meets ISTE collabortor standards through it's direction to explore and evaluate technology tools. I also workled on my colalboration skilll through my groups collective effort to idnetify whther these tech tools are rlevan t and identify ideas where these specific ideas could be used in a classroom.
Above is an example of a peer review I gave to one of my classmates for our google mini-unit project. In this review, I made a point to give specifics on each part of her unit plan. I also found it important to add any points that I felt could have been made better or elaborated on. Giving constructive criticism is important for good group work and collaboration.
