Collaboration Reflection

How well do you think you collaborate in a pair, small group or in a big group? Explain this.

(Pairs) It goes really well because we both have really good ideas and if we don't agree on something we just combine the ideas.

(Groups) Some groups I do work well with but some groups I don't work well with. This is because sometimes we don't agree.

Which one (independent, pair, small group, or big group) do you think you work better in and why?

Pair because if there's too many ideas then we can't really combine all of them but when it is just the two of us we can.

What do you still need to improve on within collaboration? 

I still need to work on being on task and concentrating. 

What should the "ideal" collaboration look, sound, and feel like in the Kaupeka hub?

I am a good listener and I would like other's to also be a good listener. It should sound like everyone is taking turns at talking. It would look like everyone was sitting together around a table. It would feel like everyone was included and that everyone is sharing their ideas.

How well do you collaborate?

Peer Mediating 2

Peer Mediating has been better this time because there have been less arguments in the playground. The arguments that have happened are easy to deal with. For example when one boy tripped up another boy he said sorry, but the other kid didn't accept his apology. I saw this and I went over and said to the boy to say I accept your apology so he did. After this they were both happy.

How has your Peer Mediating been?
