Co-operative Learning
Posted by Marie on September 28, 2011
Last Saturday (24th September) I took part in the MFLSAT event held at Cramlington Learning Village, where my contribution was to share some thoughts on co-operative learning structures at my ‘genius bar’ (my host’s description, not mine!). Watch out for a longer post soon about other speakers’ contributions.
I have talked about collaborative learning structures before (here and here), but I make no apologies because these techniques were the thing that turned my teaching around and gave me the confidence to hand the learning over to the pupils.
So here are the few slides I prepared as an overview, and below is the handout explaining some of the activities in a little more detail. Please help yourself!

… Stop Press … Samantha Lunn is also working with these structures now, so you may want to wander over to her blog to see what she’s up to – she’s just blogged this, for example …

It was great to see what you did at the genius bar as I couldn’t go to Cramlington unfortunately. Thank you for sharing your ideas and resources!
