Collaboration Leanring Story


Learner: Harry Lang                                                              Learning Coach: D Wilkes
Learning Area: Collaboration                                              Date: Term 3
Learning Observed
This term our overarching theme has been collaboration and Harry has had plenty of opportunities to show how collaborative he is and to grow his collaboration capability.  To kick the term off Harry was on a team of learners who had to collaborate to complete various challenges.  On our first day back in Term 3 we had a super day of “Collaboration” immersion activities.  While the learners worked on the Collaboration Challenge in mixed ability, mixed year level groups they collaborated on a variety of tasks which encouraged discussion, problem solving, perseverance and teamwork.  It was great to observe Harry as he was very engaged in the tasks, demonstrating patience, sharing and teaching others.  I noticed that Harry took a lead during the collaboration rules on a hand challenge.  He also calmly demonstrated and explained the task to Hannah. Harry said he really enjoyed doing the tasks and was happy to continue the activities in the afternoon.  He also also been collaborating brilliantly in iActive during our Collaboration Station activities.
Evidence of learning
Harry collaborates all over the place!
Key Competencies/Vision Principles
Right from the start Harry embraced the challenge demonstrating collaboration strategies such as asking questions and making decisions together.  This activity challenged Harry and his team to develop their problem solving skills (Thinking).  He definitely related well to others and managed himself to maximise their collective learning.
Next Learning Steps
  • grow his capacity for collaboration by working with learners and practicing reflective listening
  • use a new digital tool like Storybird to write a collaborative story
  • focusing on the learning of the activity

We initially learnt about the Thinker’s Key called ‘BAR’. BAR stands for Bigger, Add, Replace. To practise, the learners had to pick either a pen, lunch box or tennis racquet to make a feature bigger, add to the item and replace something. The learners had as much creative license as they needed and then they reflected on how functional the item had become - could it still be used for its original purpose? The next stage was to come up with an item that we use at school and repeat the BAR process. Joshua & Harry decided on creating a dice to use in a game. Joshua & Harry had to use the website TinkerCad to design their dice. They had to use the pre...
