Asking significant questions and exploring different solutions
Collaboration and team work
Collaboration - when students work together to accomplish a shared, common task,
activity or assessment.
Students developing conflict resolution skills
Learn how to give constructive feedback and work together collegially
To build good team collaboration skills, students must learn to:
Work effectively with different groups of friends and people, including people from diverse
cultures.
Be flexible and willing to compromise with team members to reach a common goal.
Demonstrate responsibility as a team member working toward a shared goal.
Communication
Expressing thoughts and opinions clearly,
communicating instructions, motivating
others through powerful speech.
Communication cannot be effective
unless the message is received and
understood.
To build good communication skills,
students must learn to:
Communicate well face-to-face during
activities, in the playground.
Use digital media and environments to
support personal and group learning.
Use online communication ethically and
constructively = No Cyber Bullying!
