This workshop focuses on Cooperative Learning, as the instructional use of small groups so that students work together to maximize their own and each other¿s learning. We are sharing ideas, fun games and materials in order to engage students so they can construct their own knowledge. Cooperative learning games facilitate higher expectations, higher order thinking, challenge the groups and build positive relationships. In other words, let¿s make together teaching and learning more fun, engaging and successful for our students!
