Effective collaboration around computing requires educators to incorporate diverse perspectives and unique skills when developing student learning opportunities, and recognize that collaboration skills must be explicitly taught in order to lead to better outcomes than individuals working independently. Educators work together to select tools and design activities and environments that facilitate these collaborations and outcomes.
5.3.a
Model and learn with students how to formulate computational solutions to problems and how to give and receive actionable feedback.
5.3.b
Apply effective teaching strategies to support student collaboration around computing, including pair programming, working in varying team roles, equitable workload distribution and project management.
5.3.c
Plan collaboratively with other educators to create learning activities that cross disciplines to strengthen student understanding of CT and CS concepts and transfer application of knowledge in new contexts.
3.b: Students collaborate in the Lego WeDo activity as well as the Drone activity which calls for computing. My partner and I take on varying team roles and use effective teaching strategies to support students in the process.

3.a: Students will formulate their own computational solutions to problems consumers can cause in a garden as well as observe the growth of plants and consumers in gardens.
3.c: Since this is a group project, my partners and I collaborate with one another to plan and deliver the lesson that will help students understand CT and CS concepts through a STaR Hero Journey story.Â
