When I think of social learning, I think of cooperative learning and collaboration. These have become very popular in education in the last decade. I will use both in my classroom. The first is cooperative learning. I will put the students into groups for projects on a regular basis. Students get the benefit of learning from each other and taking their knowledge and putting it all together.
Collaboration is also very common in business. The students in my junior program complete a 30 day simulation where they run their own business. All the businesses are in one model community. I also talk about the fact that if the post office does not open then the other businesses can not run properly. They are collaborating so that all the businesses can run smoothly.
A rubric is something that I use when completing these projects with the students. They know what is expected ahead of time. I find that they work harder and have greater outcomes with the use of rubrics.

I have learned much at your web site and also I anticipate alot more articles and will be coming back soon. Thanks you.
