The STEAM Lab was designed to teach students 21st Century Skills including collaboration. What does collaboration look like in 2020 when students can not sit at the same desk or work on the same materials? How can projects be adjusted to facilitate students learning to work together under these conditions?
This week students in Grade7 demonstrated how they could use technology to collaborate on a Media Literacy project.
Students were paired together for this project. Each group of students used a ZOOM breakout room to discussed their project as they worked.
They used Google Slides to collaborate on the documentation of their work.
The results of their collaborations were fake Instagram posts based on comical pictures. Each group had to create two posts - one that could be evaluated as credible and one that had the indications of a fake news story.
What posts would you create?
