A few weeks later...
Collaboration Stations are a big hit!
These flexible learning spaces(painted coffee tables) have allowed students to collaborate, challenge themselves, show respect and have choice over their learning. Needless to say the students absolutely love using these tables for everything from lower level tasks such as practicing handwriting to developing thier #synthesizing skills by finding connections between historical images and sources.
I was absolutely blown away when I placed a few random historical images from Google together for the yr 5's #immersion and then students were able to find connections and facts about the people in the photos.
I am looking forward to continuing to allow students to find ways to use these spaces to enhance their learning.
