My Project

Students learn best by working and collaborating together. Collaborative workspaces in the classroom support and encourage the use of valuable social skills within an academic setting. Collaborative, dry erase tables are non-permanent writing surfaces that allow students to work together to solve problems. I have seen my students step up and help each other out when working in close collaborative settings, explaining problems and the steps to use to solve them. They all have their own strengths, and I want to facilitate these strengths and encourage them to develop them and share them with others! These dry erase tables are one step towards facilitating greater collaboration and movement of ideas between students.

Research shows that students are more likely to take risks, make mistakes, and persevere through difficult problems when they know they can simply erase mistakes and move on with a different strategy to try to solve a problem.

This table will give students the opportunity to work together to create, solve, and brainstorm using the white board table top.

The kidney table allows me to work within close proximity to each of my students while also having the flexibility to group students together right at the table.

Ultimately, this whiteboard table will encourage collaborative learning in my classroom, allow students to improve their social skills, will foster higher levels of thinking and embed enrichment, and allow students to share their ideas in a new and fun way! I believe that this classroom resource would assist my students in achieving grade level standards and feel successful and engaged while they do it.

The collection of collaborative puzzles, and building toys will further engage my students in problem solving and enrichment opportunities beyond the traditional paper and pencil task. They will be able to push themselves through developmental play.
