WinkelerD May 2 @ 9:07 PM EDT

A1: True collaboration is when Ss take control of their learning. It's when its chaotic with lots of ideas being tossed about. #gafechat

elawson1977 May 2 @ 9:07 PM EDT

A1: Ss are all engaged & invested in problem finding/solving. It's not about splitting up the work, but rather designing a plan. #gafechat

A2 pt 2 - constant discussion on how to treat people when collaborating online. Norms need to be set and addressed regularly #gafechat
