group presentation COOPERATIVE LEARNING (Rol Kids)

Last Thursday we saw a presentation about cooperative learning from the Rol Kids group. 

In the presentation they explained the cooperative learning method, first they explained how they have been organization for the presentation and then they started explaining the main ideas from cooperative learning, where the most important thing is that you learn from people that are different than you. They explained the classroom organization in different kind of teams and how everything is situated. Then they said the advantages and disadvantages about the cooperative learning but in the disadvantages they made a little mistake because they put things that they weren’t disadvantages, but they could look like ones, they were only difficulties not disadvantages, so I learn that what I thought were disadvantages were difficulties, it was interesting.

Then they explained two techniques, the peer tutoring and the group investigation. The peer tutoring is a technique where one student is the tutor and the other one is the student, the most important things about peer tutoring is that the students change the roles so everyone gets their time to explain themselves and teach to another student, and in the group investigation is very important that everyone do their part on time to help the whole team.

They explained a webquest as a resource and I thought it was very interesting, and then they put a video about the cooperative learning.

From this presentation I learn the differences between disadvantage and difficulty and that in cooperative learning the important thing is that the students feel that they all can learn from each other, I think the group did a great work and the presentation was very interesting.
