Relating to Others

One of the Key Competencies in the NZ curriculum is Relating to Others. This can be in a social sense but also includes relating to their classmates appropriately during learning. In Room 6 we have found that Google apps has been very helpful in giving children the opportunity to collaborate on documents in real time, with each child on their own device. Children have been discussing how to make a document or presentation with their collaborators and deciding who does what on a particular project. This is great experience in real life collaborating and relating to others on a more professional or formal level. Problems need to be resolved, including conflicts between collaborators.
