Social Learning in Practice

Learning takes place in different ways and cooperative learning is such an example. Students get to work in groups with a well thought out plan in place set forth by their instructor. Students must be given rules that must be upheld during work. For example, a rubric stating the guidelines for the assignment will benefit the students greatly as they create their artifact.

Technology can also be utilized as students are engaged in cooperative learning. With a rubric in place, students can use a myriad of technology based resources to accomplish their task. For example, to show that they have mastered the concept of plot, students can work cooperatively to write a short story while masterfully incorporating the elements of plot. They can then use the rubric to monitor their own progress.

Social learning is based on individuals learning from each other through their interactions. Cooperative learning with technology integration is a great way for students to learn.
