FLOW of Collaborative Learning
Five steps of collaborative learning
Collaborative learning is proceeded according to the five steps.
Step1: Start with self-introduction (students, schools, local areas)
Step2: Share each research on the common theme and discuss issues on the theme
Step3: Unite each thoughts to convey to the world and express it into a message.
Step4: Express the message into a mural by joint painting. First a Japanese school draws a half and sent it to their partner. The partner draws the other half to complete the mural.
