cooperative learning blog

Cooperative learning: I use cooperative learning a lot in my third grade classroom. I like to see students working together, but individually process the information they have learned by developing a project based on the information the group has gathered, for example a poster. As I read about cooperative learning, I really thought how I could include technology in this process. I like the idea of students all researching and then possibly making a powerpoint answering questions, possibly each having a slide to do or even a slideshow individually based on ability. As to grading in a cooperative learning environment, I feel you must grade on the comprehension of the project as well working together.
