This is the Power Point presentation that I participated in at NJASL this fall. We examined different ways that collaboration happens in the school library today. Examples of collaborative projects were discussed. The website below contains examples of collaborative forms too.

12. Hi Jackie, We are beginning our research next week and would like to come to the library Wednesday or Thursday at 2:30 if either of those times are possible. I’m open to suggestions to other times as well. We are doing human body investigations this time and I think a lesson or two on research would be helpful…Encyclopedia, etc. Let me know what works for you. Jackie, Is it ok if we stay after our book exchange time next Monday so you can start a project on communities with my class?

These projects may be viewed as an “add on” to the curriculum. They miss an inquiry approach and did not provide a higher level of thinking for the students. The children missed the opportunity to be guided by more than one teacher and the deeper learning of the topic.
