Educators everywhere will understand the labouring task of organising students into groups for project work. Muddled up resources, fall outs over being group leader and the wasted Learning time that deflates motivation. We spend so much time trying to force Collaboration that the outcome can often be second class. What if there was a way to encourage and inspire students to work as part of a real time, project based learning scenario.
The OneNote Collaboration space is a great tool to spark creativity amongst students and engage them in a working environment in which every child plays an integral role to the learning outcome. As an educator, you have the power to provide your students with the tools to work in a way that they want to. If a student like to hand-write their notes and sketch diagrams, OneNote turns handwriting into typed text automatically. How cool is that! The collaboration space is an inclusive tool that draws students together in a 21st century, technology ready environment. Here are the Top 5 Tips for using the Collaboration Space with your students.
Here are the top 3 tips to consider for starting the collaboration journey:
- Brainstorm Breakout Sessions: Build in time to your sessions to allow students to brainstorm their ideas in the collaboration space. It is often that different hold different knowledge and allowing it to be shared in the collaboration space creates an enriched learning resource for students to refer back to.
- To do tags: Provide students with a list of action points for them to work through and check off once completed. IT helps motivate a team to collaborate effectively.
- Provide templates: Students that are new to using the collaboration space can often feel overwhelmed. Providing templates will allow them build their confidence in using the collaboration space effectively.
