welcome to the chat Sharon. I am so god you picked this chat for you your first ever chat 😉
As this is our 1st , we'd love to introduce ourselves! We're Lectrify- a brand that makes circuit-building kits for K-8 graders!
I define it as a group of local and/or global learners reaching a common goal through multiple pathways.
I am new at my school, how do you forge relationships when you are the new veteran on the block?
Hi Amy. Haven't seen you in some time
what are these Twitter chats of which you speak? 🙃
A1: Collaboration is the ultimate goal in creation and productivity. Working together and pulling towards a common outcome.
Thanks for joining us Peggy!
A1 Shared commitment to a goal or objective that develops into working relationship
A1: Collaboration is working together and not just coming up with the goal for someone else to do https://t.co/XapOUHfCpA
A1: collaboration is listening, contributing, compromising in pursuit of common goals
Collaboration is working together to create something powerful! The merging of the minds!
A1: Working with people outside of your classroom to expand the walls beyond the 4 around your desks.
Collaboration is a group of people working together to achieve a common goal
A1: Collaboration is not feeling any one person has complete control, but all involved are valued.
Collaboration is an essential part of teaching/learning. To me collaboration is sharing ideas/resources to deliberately improve
Thank you, Sharon! Looking forward to a great ! 😊
Working together or at least communicating to achieve a goal
::wondering:: how does a group of people in a Twitter chat build the trust necessary to collaborate?
Yup, I went nuts last year and got admin certification! no time for chats :(
A1: Using individual strengths to achieve a common goal.
A1. Collaboration is the joining of concepts and ideas, either similar or different to help change or assist a process!
A1: Collaboration is working towards a shared goal with open minds for participation by all
Collaboration is working together toward a common goal. Often it requires a lot of give and take
Thanks for coming back! - and no one is ever late!
A1: Collab. is people contributing unique gifts, towards the good of the whole. It takes many pieces to make a complete puzzle.
a powerful PLN takes time to build and grow. Trust is not instant.
Thanks, because I am! (late)
So I got a pass for nothing?
Collaboration future of workforce..Still plenty space for those who work alone. The goal maybe together and the work semi-alone
One of best uses of tech for collaboration is going beyond walls of your schhool as we're doing on now
A1: collaboration happens when we leave egos at the door, take risks, admit weakness, share strengths and credit
A: allows my first graders to figure out what their strengths are. It gives them a chance to use/find their voice
Exactly! https://t.co/mk1AVUVLbP
One of best uses of tech for collaboration is going beyond walls of your schhool as we're doing on now
Some of the best work comes from a uncontrolled environment. When no one is in charge you get a mass of ideas!
Great answer, Bill! https://t.co/YNJZ9q7zUs
A1: Collab. is people contributing unique gifts, towards the good of the whole. It takes many pieces to make a complete puzzle.
There are some great answers in this chat
More like a golden ticket - entrace to a land of pure imagination
Hey all Michael from here, joining a bit late.
I've been known to be a fan of organized chaos ;-)
A1: exchanging of ideas to come up with one "solution" or "answer"
I like how listening is first. Collaboration begins with others.
(Oh, by the way, hi, Jacqui and 🙂) https://t.co/7XvwRaiJdt
A1: collaboration is listening, contributing, compromising in pursuit of common goals
A1 Creating something with others ... more than just sharing the workload.
and the project often collapses under the wight of itself. I believe collaboration does take leadership.
Mallory from Level Up Village here - I am late to the party tonight!
A1 Collaboration is being a & using everyone's abilities to solve problems
A1: Collaboration is goal achievement through partnership.
Collaboration at its best when groups leverage skills for the greater good https://t.co/jz656g56Ev
A1: collaboration happens when we leave egos at the door, take risks, admit weakness, share strengths and credit
Collaboration also requires the establishment of group norms, in a virtual environment that means respecting privacy, etc.
Get ready for a thought provoking Q2
A1: requires communication, respect. All empowered when we value voices of others & embrace transparency
A1: Common goal, lots of hard work, discovery, and growth. That's Collaboration
Sorry I am late Christie CT collaboration = listening and acting together
A1: I tell Ss "combining the power of all our experiences, knowledge, & ideas to create something we couldn't make alone"
You have to meet people where they are and share your story - that builds trust and relationships
I don't there is much holocracy in education.
A1 Collaboration is the way to get things done.
This is the best environment for Ss, and, honestly, for us motivated educators as well :) https://t.co/CoEbDTICJo
Some of the best work comes from a uncontrolled environment. When no one is in charge you get a mass of ideas!
A1) collaboration to me is students working together to achieve a common goal
Collaboration is at its best in a where it is encourage & 'safe' to take risks
Q2 What is collaboration important?
Then who sets the goal you are collaborating on?
if we like the process, the students will like the process as well. you really need to keep interest!
A2 Collaboration is important because we're
A2: Collaboration is important to reach all students in the best possible way. What are you doing that could help me reach them?
Collaboration is admitting you don't have all the answers and admitting others might
It takes some time, but a shared common vision and lots of energy formed https://t.co/iHhjSyx64V
::wondering:: how does a group of people in a Twitter chat build the trust necessary to collaborate?
Huge difference in collaborating when you are told to and when you want to.
Collab. is great way to foster “surplus-thinking” among Ss. What do I do well, and how can I use my skills to benefit the group?
A2: Two minds are better than one; sharing ideas to make the vision or end product better
Even better: benefit society as a whole/the world https://t.co/PYIPYBZIXy
Collab. is great way to foster “surplus-thinking” among Ss. What do I do well, and how can I use my skills to benefit the group?
A2: because engaging with others means your ideas evolve do be better suited to address more needs and often bring better focus
leadership yes, a dictator no. You really need a leader that will give the scope and take a step back!
A2 World markets demand flexible skill sets. Must be able to play nice with others in a free lance economy
Hello all - Joan, EdTech Dir from FL-here in spurts-helping twins with college apps
A1) working together for a common goal.
Yes, Julie! is the idea that multiple minds are stronger than one alone! 💭💭💭
A2 Collaboration creates buy-in, builds stronger ideas and solutions, creates a community of learners.
A2 collaboration is important because it creates opportunities for discovery
A2: I think everyone brings their best to the table when they have some say in the solution/decision.
A2: We can do more when we aren’t alone. Sharing ideas allows good ones to grow.
https://t.co/Ds4IPEvISt
Q2 What is collaboration important?
Collaboration is about loosing the Id and the Ego and going the best by the problem
A2: Collaboration is important because it draws out the giftings that Ss may or may not even know they had! That empowers them.
A2. In this Twitter chat are we coordinating or cooperating? Do those come before true collaboration?
I really like the metaphor https://t.co/tqEfhP6bbJ
Even better: benefit society as a whole/the world https://t.co/PYIPYBZIXy
Collab. is great way to foster “surplus-thinking” among Ss. What do I do well, and how can I use my skills to benefit the group?
Facilitator, and sometimes BFD, is good for me.
I couldn't stand group projects. Wait, I still can't stand them
Watching Mon. Night Football. Not sure there’s better example of collab. than football. 11 players working towards common goal.
A2: solo work is good, but frequently I miss something; collaboration catches errors, fills gaps, improves product
goals are often set by Ts but a grp can come to a conclusion in some instances.
A2: "we are drowning in a sea of information, but thirsty for knowledge" It takes a team to evaluate & implement effectively
A2: Ideas get better when they are shared. Then add "what if......"
A2 I believe in "smartest person in the room is the room"
https://t.co/0zHbanyYGK
A1: I am also starting a push-in enrichment with 4-6, trying to follow a PBL format, if any of you have any experience with that
Facilitator, and sometimes BDFL is good for me.
Hard to be collaborative when kids are looking at the back of each others heads (in rows)
love this! How do you empower the mindset of your students? https://t.co/GV2l0xkDqs
A2: solo work is good, but frequently I miss something; collaboration catches errors, fills gaps, improves product
BINGO! Such wisdom! https://t.co/hmHKWFFH9l
A2: "we are drowning in a sea of information, but thirsty for knowledge" It takes a team to evaluate & implement effectively
And stronger ideas leads to a better end result! 😉 https://t.co/1eLmUffNtg
A2 Collaboration creates buy-in, builds stronger ideas and solutions, creates a community of learners.
but is driving to group consensus for goal collaboration or coersion?
A2: Nothing is created in a vacuum. The more outside sources/opinions the greater the outcome.
A2. As an educator you can't do it alone. To much depends on the help of others. Other educators, admins, companies all help!
I just need Matt Jones to collaborate with me and get at least 9.2 points.
once consensus is reached the group can move fwd. Otherwise you get stuck at the beginning.
and sometimes you exceed goals you didn't know you had before you started collaborating ... no limits
Love this https://t.co/YsBdheKJme
A2: "we are drowning in a sea of information, but thirsty for knowledge" It takes a team to evaluate & implement effectively
but can't you have a leader say - achieve this - do it however you can - within bounds - and then just go?
A2: when I try something and fail, I always ask for feedback, clearly I don't have all the answers all the time!
somebody has to whitewash the fence.
Our circuit building kits are about collaboration -working together +seeing what kinds of creations kids can make!
if teachers are not collaborating how can we expect the kids to understand collaboration ...
do they? trying to figure out how to move from consensus building around idea to collaborating new idea
A2) Collaboration is important to help refine and build upon ideas
Think you mean when you try something and then iterate. https://t.co/buzeAyjQn7
A2: when I try something and fail, I always ask for feedback, clearly I don't have all the answers all the time!
Yes! & grow from top-down. https://t.co/UYWSfw6zTo
if teachers are not collaborating how can we expect the kids to understand collaboration ...
Do you collaborate weekly with others or just coordinate? Just wondering ....
Have you ever collaborated? This is not a grand concept we're talking about
Q3 really want to be free
This is a question I have been pondering myself..... https://t.co/6EsHtSbg9b
if teachers are not collaborating how can we expect the kids to understand collaboration ...
Yep, Huck would have figured away to break the fence down or have it replaced with stone.
& How will Ts understand, do & model if admin don't?
Of course! But there is no iteration without reflection and feedback!
Is this where design thinking can be actualized?
I kind of call it being human. Problem is we created an ed system that rewards/measures individual
Or, to build the respect and trust needed to collaborate with peers worldwide. https://t.co/cwJSD48nCb
if teachers are not collaborating how can we expect the kids to understand collaboration ...
I have - going philosophical about a minor point - just working the question :)
Q3 How can we model good collaboration practices for students?
well last week we were supposed to coordinate and ended up collaborating and created something we didn't expect
If districts don't enable and encourage
100% agree. Feedback drives collaboration on a road of reflection.
Amy from CT joining in a bit late
Currently reading “The Space: A Guide for Educators”// trying to reimagine a classroom as a greater collaborative space.
A3 By collaborating with peers https://t.co/h0XErJrEBP
Q3 How can we model good collaboration practices for students?
Focus on S questioning-Less emphasis on just getting along & more on stretching imagination
Collaborate? What is this you speak of? Specialists are in their own world. Maybe multiverse.
A3: model collaboration by seeking co-teaching opportunities; your library media specialist is at the ready!
That's the best kind of , Dennis! The unplanned kind that produces greatness! 😜
A3: show Ss that you collaborate and work with other Ts. Encourage group work and show Ss that it's not as scary as they think
fine line. All activity takes place in systems with rules. When "collaborate" an assignment is it coerced?
A3 use pbl between various gen Ed and specials ts.
that's nothing new. It's what the many discussion of today hope to change for tomorrow.
It is something I wonder about quite a bit. I like asking others ... :) https://t.co/Ty13BKB3pJ
Collaborate? What is this you speak of? Specialists are in their own world. Maybe multiverse.
Leslie from LI, NY joining late!
A3: I tell students not 2 expect me to have all the answers, but model drawing in outside collab’ers to help fill in gaps.
A3: By sharing stories about how collaboration has helped us to grow. Invite guests into class https://t.co/aV7i62kaok
Q3 How can we model good collaboration practices for students?
A3: Show by example. Also that it does require compromise. Just like being married! https://t.co/lt0lfw1z1N
Q3 How can we model good collaboration practices for students?
I was late as well and also from CT...can we blame it on the beautiful day we had today? :-)
everyone needs to stretch
What makes collaboration important is that it leads to innovation, through collaboration new ideas are born and grow
A3: I have started to encourage debriefing circle times & ask Ss to identify positive examples of teamwork, support, & listening
For friends I know in tech and in the gig economy collaboration isn't about tomorrow but paying bills today
Or thru toys +games. Our kits are perfect examples of using collab to develop skills!
Search "confratute" years ago I attended -summer training 4 Ts->amazing
depends on parameters and how group divides work - if they try to maximize skills yes - if just to work no
was odd as we were supposed to be using a rubric to check our project instead we enhanced it
collaboration is choice coercion is forced
A3: You must embody collaboration. No one person has all of the answers. Rely on the LMS & other colleagues for support & ideas
A3: guided collaboration and modeling! I love working with other teachers out in the open so kids see that conversations help
A3 Also go outside school walls & collaborate by seeing/watching authors talk, artists work, etc.
A3) I find specific feedback during collaborative activities are a good start. I also coll w/the class T during their STEM class
A3. Model/measure what you expect - provide feedback or have Ss rate their growth over time. https://t.co/7Zda4Y1qYP
So then can I assign groups give out a rubric and call it collaboration?
DO IT! Cross curricular opportunities are authentic in nature and provide a model for students to follow.
Yeah but Ss in K12 need to develop the skills and hopefully refine in or b4 career
A3: There are so many great sports movies about youth collaboration, particularly football-based :)
A3: How about actually collaborating with them - there are plenty of opportunities in an course!
A3 modeling listening-asking questions for clarity, ensure that all voices are heard-work together https://t.co/SnA4RKQ0ll
Q3 How can we model good collaboration practices for students?
I encourage S groups to take “collab. class notes” using — Ss outline, answer essential Qs, define vocab together.
I am taking Sandlot over a Football movie.
A3: If students see teacher-teacher collaboration and parent-teacher collaboration, they'll realize the importance of teamwork
Collaboration can also happen thru planned w/ fellow & . We held one last week here in our SF office!
Yes. You've provided a task and then it gets worked on. Your Ss will collaborate.
The Squints and Wendy Pfeffercorn pool scene is one of the best in motion picture history. https://t.co/vhxhNQn74A
I am taking Sandlot over a Football movie.
Collaboration involves listening ....teach kids true conversational skills
I have seen many of a lit circle devolve into five kids working on five separate tasks.
A3: I also think that sharing & collecting valuable feedback helps to foster greater collaboration amongst Ts&Ss and Ss&Ss
How would you recommend using technology in the classroom? How do you personally do it?
A3. Sometimes your Ss need to see the Ts working together in teams! is a great avenue for this.
This is where I wanted to go collaboration/consensus/coersion - Thanks ! https://t.co/AYi3Cjks0C
So then can I assign groups give out a rubric and call it collaboration?
A3: We can actually collaborate on projects with Ss and allow them to take the lead.
Assign them to teams for an upcoming debate about a topic they know NOTHING about. This induces collaboration and delegation.
Create classroom Twitter, share positive stories on Social Media. Bring in experts/other classes via
A3: Plan and meet publicly, let S's SEE the work that T's do
you can have ss choose how to best meet requirements of pbl/assignment. Low tech to high.
and I find it hard to call that collaboration, even though by definition it may be
Take a topic they know a lot about and make them argue the other side.
Love it. I have a club based on 3D printing. I'm learning with them because I have no knowledge in the area!
A3: Invite other teachers into your space. Let them see you collaborating with others. Collaborate with other classes mix it up!
A3: Sometimes I'll have a group reenact their conversation for classmates to see how they build on each other's thoughts
One of my top 5 films!!! "you're killing me Smalls" https://t.co/jwsZ8ZODWT
The Squints and Wendy Pfeffercorn pool scene is one of the best in motion picture history. https://t.co/vhxhNQn74A
I am taking Sandlot over a Football movie.
Depending on the tasks they may still be working towards the same end.
you will have so much fun
This really depends on your goal. My philosophy is that the tech is there to assist with the product.
A3: Co-teaching is a great way to model collaboration practices for Ss, I co-teach in a in CT
Quoting never blame students for taking path of least resistance. A good skill
think about any jigsaw activity. Break it down and come back together.
The printer is located at district, so we are planning on setting up a 24 hour webcam! ;o)
I only possess 1 POV, therefore I can only meet needs I perceive. To meet all needs, I need all POVs https://t.co/EKzsHKiZlC
Q2 What is collaboration important?
is it collaboration or group work. One learns from pieces, other just connects pieces
invite your school librarian - you'll be amazed at resources we have for a project like this!
well stated! It's like being physically outside the box!
nice. You could have your students set a raspberry pi to be the web cam
I compare t collaboration in volunteer spaces and required spaces I work in. Its different
Cross-disciplinary! Be brave! Chat at lunch! You never know how their field can help your perspective. https://t.co/RkRPDuYJg1
A3: Invite other teachers into your space. Let them see you collaborating with others. Collaborate with other classes mix it up!
Giving credit to everyone involved in the process. Letting them be involved in my creative process. https://t.co/LLI8rHPcqk
Q3 How can we model good collaboration practices for students?
Have to fly early- back to the college apps 😂
Technology Applications teacher. Most of my tech is used to obtain data or knowledge that we will use in PBL.
It's definitely a collaboration opportunity.
I like to do this by playing a game and then stopping and letting them modify as needed. https://t.co/LLI8rHPcqk
Q3 How can we model good collaboration practices for students?
What are some of your ideas in using technology to improve student mental health & foster resiliency?
https://t.co/gWjexuEpy9
Can you bring it together in a shared voice and structure? Thats the real challenge.
- Our librarian is a life saver!
when incorporating tech, always use it as means to support the outcome. It should never be tech for tech sake
but some can just work together and flow through the puzzle without breakdown
Shift this year to a more approach. Stop motion animation, , , !
“: - Our librarian is a life saver! ” We thrive on collaboration!
“: - Our librarian is a life saver! ” We thrive on collaboration!
just remember to focus on the journey and not the end
exactly! Many of the art teachers and LMS I work with have now adopted maker spaces!
Q4 Other than G Apps, what are other tools that increase collaboration?
pedagogical goal, access, equity, language support, low-tech alternative, cost, pedagogical goal.
. one of the most rewarding classes I took in HS was a team taught course the integrated art, history, English & music
Will be implementing Pi this year too. Not sure what my EL Ss can do- they've earned it.
5th grade is working on that as we speak! I just want to get a bigger screen to show it on!
q4, Paper, post-it notes, chart paper, markers, index cards, calendars,
The first year i did it i let them explore ideas and concepts through youtube, and blogs!
Model it! Don't let them grow up in an environment of silos or they'll learn to build more. https://t.co/Luzum73Ini
A3: If students see teacher-teacher collaboration and parent-teacher collaboration, they'll realize the importance of teamwork
A4: this will be a multipart answer! So many to share! Let's start with Padlet, https://t.co/8biKy8GJxt , Lightbox, BreakoutEdu
Slack () is a great way to collaborate and communicate! I use the app on a regular basis!
A4: Old school - whiteboard, post its, lots of paper, frantic doodling, prototyping and lots and lots of food and beverages
Blogs and RSS build out collaboration but empower students to own their own data.
A4: Padlet, whiteboards, and post-its
A4: TodaysMeet is great in twitter-like chats in class; transcript allows for post-chat reflection
A4: social media! Twitter, blogger, message boards https://t.co/axpDOvWu8X
Q4 Other than G Apps, what are other tools that increase collaboration?
i would agree unless you are going to have it on for long periods
is great but collaboration doesn't have to be high tech. https://t.co/fUv5utZcOf
Q4 Other than G Apps, what are other tools that increase collaboration?
A4: I love having students do poster presentations just like at a conference. They all get into it and we invited other classes
Lightboard for use in flipped classes (video lectures). I'll add trim soon to hide the lights https://t.co/hIILcNBSqr
Agreed! I kind of plan to have them blog along the way!
A4: padlet and Today's meet are two that I like. Hoping to explore more of them
. Yes, I am slowly transitioning to TAB art room- the 5th gr Ss are lovin' choice and responsibility!
😢😢😢 That sucks for sure! Dealing w/that now w/Ts who are + tech-savvy. How do we edu others to be problem solvers?
I have been trying to move all of my courses over to github for easier and open collaboration.
One of my HS Ts did. I learned true collaborative talk from her. But I do it with my 3rd graders too
A4: The share button on apps on Apple products and apps.
A4) For collaboration I like using for students to share and provide feedback for revisions &
Google Earth, , iMovie, Hopefuly
❤️ multiple colored markers and white boards!
with elem I would use Kano Pi. Game function helps them learn Python
i'm in between on this. I think you need checkpoints to show they are staying on task and maintain direction.
A4: Art supplies, post-it notes, today's meet
It takes a village! https://t.co/rfXa56zYug
A3: If students see teacher-teacher collaboration and parent-teacher collaboration, they'll realize the importance of teamwork
What is groups had daily stand-ups and set their own goals, monitored progress teacher just approved.
They love it. Less of a focus on the day to day. They come in and just start where they left off.
A4 We use blogs both tcher class and student blogs
A4: con't: Lego Robotics, cubelets, used ease.ly to create infographics from research, Skype,
Q5 I have my thoughts on legalizing cheating. When does collaboration become cheating or what separates the two?
More 1:1 /small group training, additional techs to teach software, internet, tech. Beef up our ed programs.
agreed. one nice thing is that that the OS is free!
Add camera to photo it to share an scribble
A: Apps & web tools are helpful but the context of a good hook (PBL question, STEM challenge, mystery, etc.) is essential!
that sounds awfully like self-directed learning - where do I sign up?
Too late Looked @ Kano- my Ss already can tear apart and reassemble desktop
When you get a paycheck for it.
A5: When it becomes copying without participation. Leeching.
https://t.co/aTHO0SXsd0
Q5 I have my thoughts on legalizing cheating. When does collaboration become cheating or what separates the two?
we just started using campus press as a district, might shift. But at the moment we are using Google Sites.
A5: In collaboration, you may have students grade the "efforts" of each other. Can this deter cheating, coasting, laziness?
Cheating is presenting the solution as something you came up with all on your own when you actually contributed little to none
A5: I am believer in collaboration I don't see it as cheating...everyone takes a bit from every interaction...
Hey going to introduce my littles to Classroom tom. Any good introductions to classroom activities I could put up?
this is exactly how integration is meant to be. Student lead with teach facilitated!
A5: They reflect using both verbal explanation (Socratic method), and in writing, often with Google Docs
A5: One of my Ss asked me this today! I was talking about growing from what I see other Ts do & she said, "Isn't that stealing?"
I copy code all the time. Am I a leech? What if I never contribute back? What if I do?
is presenting some great questions this evening. Love reading everyone's thoughts.
A5: cheating occurs when you put no personal effort into a project. If you helped, then I feel that's collaboration
students have alot to say. If they can't get it out in print make sure to offer them a video version!!!!!
A5) I tell my Ss that it is perfectly acceptable to use others' ideas when working on a STEM challenge - engineers do it!
This is an important conversation that we need to have more w Ss and Ts on the difference between the 2 https://t.co/rMIJOGoXUi
A5: This is a slippery slope for me as admin. Stealing or copying someone's work is still cheating https://t.co/EUOlxmkJ2Y
Very true. I do the same. But we typically are applying it to some problem or to create a solution.
A5: Can students be counted on to determine the difference between cheating, free-riding, or collaboration? I think so!
I love open source because of that nature.
that was what I was thinking with the question
A5: Over-simplification has become a symptom of modern communication. Sometimes we confuse brevity for acuracy
Guiding questions during a class discussion might help them assimilate the differences. https://t.co/4LQUNvMVkH
A5: Can students be counted on to determine the difference between cheating, free-riding, or collaboration? I think so!
A5 What's the goal? Do Ss help ea other learn? Does one member do all the work? My PK/K Ss teach ea other
A4. Love me some ! Great for younger Ss. Easy for them to use and manipulate, very easy to upload and share.
A5) it's only cheating when you take credit for the work of others. Acknowledgement and citation key in collaboration.
Q6 It is time. Who are your collaborating Superstars?
A5: Is it stealing if you get permission first?
.....I know you...congratulations on the new position!
and how accessible is the solution? Is it free to all or at least the collaborators?
A5. Simple answer.. When someone doesn't put forth the effort in their own way to match others work. Drives me up the wall.
Collaboration = cheating when your individual growth/knowledge is dependent on others, when it's no longer a meeting of minds
Even w/ permission, need to implement in the way that works for your S's, not the original S's for whom it was made
Or if you're not learning from it.
A6: rock when it comes to collaboration!
This is a great point...how do you hold students accountable for this? https://t.co/3TYvOmxkD3

So many "rebrand" others' original content for their own even with attribution. Media co's this, and perhaps Ss think it's okay.
Create where Ss want to collaborate, put in to a learning exp https://t.co/NZTInt7UfX
A5: Can students be counted on to determine the difference between cheating, free-riding, or collaboration? I think so!
Depends on the license. Accessible...well are skill barriers and requisite background knowledge
That's what I do in 1st Grade! ;) Tear apart and have them work it out!
A5 I tell my ss it's a compliment of someone thinks your idea is good enough to want to make it their own
hey! Thanks. Hope all is well in the new school year
Still I think many open source projects could benefit from a lot more non-technical support.
Great question. It is stealing if you do not disclose and provide a source for borrowed wisdom, Permission depends
Open source is a great example of collaboration
in your evaluation of their projects - they have to show knowledge integration not regurgitation
Everything we read is "stealing." Most learning begins as imitation. Once we chart our own path, that's growth.
You have your firsties tear apart computer boxes? Wonderful! another crazy
A6) is my new job-alike and chief collaborator - we put in 40 hours this summer! 5 kids in tow at times too.
I agree. Usability to non-tech users is key to the broader success of projects.
Love this! We need to help Ss understand the diff between cheating & building on others' ideas
Planning on having my Ss wipe hard drives and reinstall OS, etc.
Granted, Gparted is much more user friendly than fdisk by design.
Thoguh improvements to GitHub's web interface makes it a place I now recommend to teachers.
Not in my experience. Ss all grade each other highest bc of peer pressure/fear of acceptance
This is so on point to our conversation. https://t.co/GsAccBu4wx

Never heard of these. Glad to learn.
Is it? Or don't we immediately start interpreting it? One could say the same for everything we see
this would eliminate cheating as to why I ment. collaboration is give & take, use & reuse https://t.co/laucWXW3f2

Remember Partition Magic? You can get a gParted ISO and do the same thing! GUI for repartitioning!
