Suzie,
You add to my thinking on collaboration in two ways: one, primarily we think of using collaboration to tackle big ideas or big projects; two, you mention purposefulness, a key component I overlooked in my piece for Getting Smart, “How to Work Together to Build Capacities for Collaboration” (http://gettingsmart.com/blog/2012/03/how-to-work-together-to-build-capacities-for-collaboration/).

Thanks for commenting! One book that has dramatically changed my teaching practice in a most transformative way is Daniel Pink’s Drive: The Surprising Truth about What Motivated Us. I’d highly recommend it to anyone in education. In this book, he talks about FedEx day. Hope you are planning to try it out.

Hi Gus! Thanks for commenting and sharing your experience. Likewise, I’ve tried in the past and experienced similar. No doubt, this is tough. But, the things truly worth doing are always so. I think in the past, I’ve always stepped back and given up too easily. I’m determined to stick with it and not surprisingly, the students are beginning to pull through. Each day is more rewarding than the one before… I’ll share some more interesting outcomes soon.

Good luck! This is hard work but work well worth doing.

Thanks for this blog. I found it eerily familiar. Earlier this semester I tried something similar with WWII and gave the students so much rope to play with that they only got themselves tied in knots. It was frustrating and I had to step back. But I’m trying to take the baby steps again to getting to that student-driven learning style.
