Digging Deep into Initial Data Part 3

From the data everyone agrees 100% that collaboration is beneficial but does this information represent practice and is this actually true? Collaboration has to fit the situation and has to be purposeful. One of the responses states that for it to be beneficial people need to understand it so that it is used effectively. This is something Sharon and Tash  believe is very important and is a message we will be elaborating on through this blog. We need to better understand the meaning of collaboration so that we can see when and how to use this in the classroom. Life and learning can happen without collaboration but two heads are better than one when used effectively. 
The main barrier portrayed in the data is time. This is a word all teachers can empathise with. We need to use our blog opportunity to investigate how this can be overcome. How can we use time to support collaboration i.e sharing work to reduce workload. Tools was also a common factor, we need to research appropriate tools that people can choose to interact with that best suits their environment. Trust was the third factor of concern which is very vital in collaboration. We need to spend time looking at how we can develop trust, build trust and work alongside different people. In order for collaboration to be effective you need a level of professional trust, how can we develop this?
