" To be prepared for the fast-paced,
virtual workplace that they will inherit, today's students need to be
able to learn and produce cooperatively."
I whole heartedly agree with this statement. This is especially true with my students. My students attend a virtual school in which they receive one live lesson a week. This is our pilot year for live lessons. In the past, the student worked individually and asked questions of the teacher when needed. In my particular class, I am collaborating with my students through video and live lesson, and I am allowing them to collaborate with each other. The quality of product these kids are producing is phenomenal. They are completely engaged and more confident in what they are doing. It has been a very positive change for them to be able to work collaboratively.
