Taralyn Chichak’s Blog Post #2

Hi Taralyn,

I really like how you structured your blog post on cooperative learning! You clearly highlighted the key benefits and agree with all the points you’ve made, specifically how cooperative learning is a “team-based and helps create a better community, leading to a warmer atmosphere in the classroom. A Factor that stood out to me is how you added the fact that cooperative learning contributes to a positive interdependence and enhances interpersonal skills. Additionally, I like how you showed your understanding of this topic by connecting cooperative learning to differentiated learning as both have its contribution to learning success, such as that cooperative learning supports differentiated learning by having the students to work in mixed-ability groups and can enhance their strengths and receive peer support in areas where they need improvement. This really highlights the need of student support with their needs in regard to diverse learning.
