Reading Response #2

Quality telecollabrotive projects help develop students’ critical thinking skills in many ways. It helps develop friendships and builds team bonding and allows students to work with others and bring new ideas to the group discussion. Collaborative work also helps students problem solve and helps them figure things out on their own. For example in article one it states, “Part of what students are learning in a group project is how to negotiate differences and deal with other people to reach a common goal.” I think that is a great thing to learn, because all throughout life, people are confronted with this problem and it only helps benefit you as a better person in the long run. The two top levels and factors of Blooms pyramid are synthesis and evaluation, and those help students “judge the effectiveness of writing objectives, and design a classification scheme for writing that combines cognitive, affective and psychomotor domains.” Telecollaborative projects help students learn in only positive ways and only benefit them in the future. Bloom’s taxonomy is a great source and is educational in so many ways, and I don’t see how there could be any negative or bad effects of it. It helps students grow and individuals and problem solve, resolve conflict and so much more!
