Teachers’ collaboration in a project

We share responsibilities -pages / activities / groups

Good coordination & collaboration

The more we know our partners, the better collaboration and responsibilities’ sharing we can have!

Students’ collaboration in a project

Good planning of each topic/theme

●Which procedure should we follow?●Will the task be collaborative?●Will there be interaction?●Will we use the same collaborative tool?●If each partners creates their own work, how will we interact with each other’s work?

Collaborative tools

Use them collaboratively! All together! Not a different one for each

partner! Group work and collaboration is not when we

have our own students in groups within our school – international groups

Group work!!!
