Cooperative Learning with Computer

            

             Ideally, 1:1 should be the pupil-student ratio.This ratio is being applied by most of the progressive countries.In our country, the ratio is 2:1 or 4:1, but this didn't stop the teachers pursue of catering the knowledge of basic computer to students.Creativity of teachers set in and they use cooperative learning.

                 Cooperative learning is grouping students for a common and certain task.They should have a common goal.Interdependence, interaction, individual accountability and social skills should be seen once this learning is being applied in a certain task.This encourages active learning while motivating the students.This is also increases academic performance, promotes literacy and language skills, teacher effectiveness and social development of students.

                        

              The computer can be the vehicle for a certain task for learning and also it is needed to emphasized the need of cooperation and collaboration to students.

            This is a good venue for learning because we are not only teaching knowledge but also we are teaching them how it is to interact with people around them which is important for in this world we do interact with people and not just machines.

        I sink we sink, I float we float.
