Learning Approach: Collaborative Learning
Students were split up into groups and given the topic of adding fractions or subtracting fractions. Using a rubric, the groups had to work together to create a presentation that teaches their given topic. Each group would then teach/present to the class once completed. In the video, footage was shown of students filming, video taping, and creating presentations using video, audio and presentation tools on the computer as a group. Students were shown working together and expressing different forms of multimedia.

Collaborative learning provides the opportunity for students to share their multiple perspectives and viewpoints when in groups. According to Edutopia (2012),"individual work can be a great way to master content, but what the group work empowers and kind of enables is a student's cultivation of a certain resilience."

Effectiveness of Lesson:
Collaborative learning was an effective approach to this lesson. As a group, students could share ideas, express their creativity, communicate, and display their strengths and skills in terms of the math content and technology. "Collaborative learning environments encourage students to work in teams, question processes, make mistakes, and monitor each other's reasoning" while keeping the students motivated and engaged (Maloy, R., et. al., 2014).
