@JwhiteJudith Hey Judith, how are you doing? It's been too long! #cdnedchat

jpetersen02 - Moderator Mar 21 @ 8:04 PM EDT

Q1: How do you define collaboration? #cdnedchat

jpetersen02 - Moderator Mar 21 @ 8:04 PM EDT

Hi John, great to have you with us in #CdnEdChat tonight!

JwhiteJudith Mar 21 @ 8:05 PM EDT

@jpetersen02 yup we are way overdue but #cdnedchat will work for now

jpetersen02 - Moderator Mar 21 @ 8:05 PM EDT

A1: For me, it's the act of working toward a common goal, whether in person, digitally, at the same time, or asynchronously. #CdnEdChat

Broomer217 Mar 21 @ 8:07 PM EDT

A1: Collaboration involves open exchange of ideas, skills, and resources. #cdnedchat

JwhiteJudith Mar 21 @ 8:07 PM EDT

A1- for me it is anytime you get together with 1 or more people and create #cdnedchat

ZeliaMCT Mar 21 @ 8:07 PM EDT

@ZeliaMCT @tdsb Hi Zelia! We're talking #Collaboration tonight in #CdnEdChat

jpetersen02 - Moderator Mar 21 @ 8:08 PM EDT

I like this definition - it opens up collaboration to so many new venues. #cdnedchat https://t.co/vWnw7lC7Bk

Broomer217 Mar 21 @ 8:07 PM EDT

A1: Collaboration involves open exchange of ideas, skills, and resources. #cdnedchat

msvalois - Moderator Mar 21 @ 8:09 PM EDT

@Broomer217 - welcome! Thanks for joining us!#cdnedchat

ZeliaMCT Mar 21 @ 8:09 PM EDT

A1 Collaboration means being heard but also being ready 2 disagree agreeably; move 2wards an end goal #CdnEdChat

Robitaille2011 Mar 21 @ 8:09 PM EDT

A1 Working together, team teaching.... #cdnedchat

msvalois - Moderator Mar 21 @ 8:09 PM EDT

@Robitaille2011 Yes! Modelling collaboration for students through their learning experience #cdnedchat

MeldrumKim Mar 21 @ 8:11 PM EDT

rowesicky Mar 21 @ 8:11 PM EDT

Collaboration often has a problem solving component, both for students and teachers. Often synergistic in its nature. #cdnedchat

cdnedchat - Moderator Mar 21 @ 8:13 PM EDT

Q2: What opportunities do your students have to collaborate? #cdnedchat

Broomer217 Mar 21 @ 8:13 PM EDT

@ZeliaMCT I like this definition; the idea of productive disagreement often moves ideas forward. #cdnedchat

msvalois - Moderator Mar 21 @ 8:13 PM EDT

@MeldrumKim - Hi Kim! Great to see you. Love that answer. Welcome Back! #cdnedchat

leftyeva Mar 21 @ 8:13 PM EDT

A1 I think collaboration involves sharing ideas so everyone can move forward. You may see new ways to achieve goals. #cdnedchat

jpetersen02 - Moderator Mar 21 @ 8:14 PM EDT

@leftyeva Absolutely. It requires that everyone be open to alternative points of view #cdnedchat

rowesicky Mar 21 @ 8:14 PM EDT

A1:@BrittneyBiology for me it's also about internalized goals - improvement even if a final goal or result is not achieved #cdnedchat

TeacherHann Mar 21 @ 8:14 PM EDT

A1: collaboration: not just sharing ideas, but develop'g good listening skills, compromising, & learning 2 trust others strengths #cdnedchat

jpetersen02 - Moderator Mar 21 @ 8:15 PM EDT

@TeacherHann Trust is a big part of collaboration, and I think that many don't recognize this #cdnedchat

MeldrumKim Mar 21 @ 8:16 PM EDT

A2 I work with adults mostly and I try to have a lot of learning opportunities designed for them to collaborate #cdnedchat

Broomer217 Mar 21 @ 8:16 PM EDT

A2: Use of collaborative functions in tools such as Google Slides and Docs, Prezis. #cdnedchat

ZeliaMCT Mar 21 @ 8:16 PM EDT

A2 #collaboration: it is the driving force in class: inquiry, problem solving, cr8n initiatives Class Community depends on this! #CdnEdChat

MeldrumKim Mar 21 @ 8:16 PM EDT

A2 learning together as adults is as important as it is for students #cdnedchat

rowesicky Mar 21 @ 8:17 PM EDT

A2: small group, whole class, extracurricular. Most types of formal assessment. Inside and outside the classroom. #cdnedchat

jpetersen02 - Moderator Mar 21 @ 8:17 PM EDT

And this is exactly why students need lots of experience in collaboration - it's always a life skill #cdnedchat https://t.co/su9P0K9zl6

JwhiteJudith Mar 21 @ 8:18 PM EDT

A2- luckily in science labs provide opportunities to collaborate/solve real world problems #cdnedchat

Broomer217 Mar 21 @ 8:18 PM EDT

A2: Collaborative discussions rather than debates; throw out a problem to solve as opposed to an issue to argue? #cdnedchat

BrittneyBiology Mar 21 @ 8:18 PM EDT

A2: Google docs has created a whole new way for me to collaborate with students. I'm able to work with the whole classroom...#CdnEdChat

jpetersen02 - Moderator Mar 21 @ 8:18 PM EDT

@ZeliaMCT Collaboration has a huge role in building a classroom community, and vice versa #cdnedchat

MsHLye Mar 21 @ 8:19 PM EDT

A2: Arguably my Ss collaborate every day. I encourage them to work together on tasks to encourage them to discuss thinking #cdnedchat

MeldrumKim Mar 21 @ 8:19 PM EDT

It certainly is James and one that we continually need to encourage-good teaching is not a competition #cdnedchat https://t.co/oS49YmKpYA

.@cdnedchat personally for me, it was the opportunities after school where I got to collaborate the most #cdnedchat

BrittneyBiology Mar 21 @ 8:20 PM EDT

A2: 2 groups or work individually with students. Doesn't just help #collaboration but also #differentiation #CdnEdChat

beepreemo Mar 21 @ 8:20 PM EDT

@MeldrumKim Some of the best ideas are created when my team connects ideas that individuals have put forth #cdnedchat

TeacherHann Mar 21 @ 8:20 PM EDT

.@jpetersen02 requires that a) ppl know others' skills; b) ppl know own skill level relative to others; c) & can be un-selfish #cdnedchat

TracyZordan Mar 21 @ 8:26 PM EDT

A3: Many of the best collaborations w/ colleagues happen on the fly & unplanned. #cdnedchat

Broomer217 Mar 21 @ 8:26 PM EDT

@MeldrumKim @jpetersen02 I find it helps develop best practices, and evaluate and reconsider practices that should be challenged #cdnedchat

TracyZordan Mar 21 @ 8:27 PM EDT

A3: Collaboration leads to better reflection. #cdnedchat

jpetersen02 - Moderator Mar 21 @ 8:27 PM EDT

@TracyZordan Need to be constantly on the lookout for collaborative opportunities - often the unanticipated are most productive! #cdnedchat

M_Kearney Mar 21 @ 8:27 PM EDT

@TracyZordan Yes, but it is also important to schedule opportunities to collaborate. #cdnedchat

TeacherHann Mar 21 @ 8:27 PM EDT

@JwhiteJudith a really good question! Perhaps when marking? (Obviously collaboration doesn't mean passing all the work to others) #cdnedchat

TracyZordan Mar 21 @ 8:27 PM EDT

@M_Kearney Both bring different opportunities. #cdnedchat

beepreemo Mar 21 @ 8:28 PM EDT

@JwhiteJudith a really good question! Perhaps when marking? (Obviously collaboration doesn't mean passing all the work to others) #cdnedchat

Broomer217 Mar 21 @ 8:29 PM EDT

A3: Difference between collaborating and working in a group. Much more active engagement/ownership with collaborative practice #cdnedchat

beepreemo Mar 21 @ 8:30 PM EDT

@TracyZordan Sometimes I need that reflection time to process and connect ideas. #cdnedchat

TracyZordan Mar 21 @ 8:30 PM EDT

A3: Too often we get caught up in our silos - need the change of air ( & pov) that collaboration can bring. #cdnedchat

TeacherHann Mar 21 @ 8:31 PM EDT

.@JwhiteJudith & by extension - what times OUGHT tchrs collaborate? And are there times when we should NOT? #cdnedchat

cdnedchat - Moderator Mar 21 @ 8:31 PM EDT

@jpetersen02 Agreed; collaboration is a willful activity; people have to value and own the direction, the process and outcome. #cdnedchat

Q6: What do you wish your students knew about collaboration? #cdnedchat

Broomer217 Mar 21 @ 8:50 PM EDT

@jpetersen02 True. Best collaborative work for me has always developed out of problem solving; the shared goal is the solution. #cdnedchat

jprofNB Mar 21 @ 8:50 PM EDT

A5b: Time is a big factor also. We must build collaboration into existing structures. We must use innovative ways to collaborate. #cdnedchat

That is very true @Broomer217. Without an intention or objective, we are just wasting people's time. #cdnedchat https://t.co/wWX9u7KTFS

@M_Kearney Good one! #cdnedchat
