Incorporating Technology for the 21st Century Learner
According to Research from the
University of North Carolina, USC
Berkley, and the National Survey of

students who are engaged in the
classroom through collaborative
learning and the integration of
technology have an overall increase
in graduation rates of 9%

Why is Collaborative Learning so Important?
Research has proven that Collaborative
Learning:
Engages students beyond reading,
listening, and note-taking
Increases critical thinking skills
Fuels long-term memory retention
Enhances quick concept absorption
Promotes educational ownership

Research Based Rule
The Rule of 10 & 2
Maximum: 10
Minutes of Lecture
Minimum: 2 Minutes
of Collaboration
Research Indicates
Learning is optimized when students
are actively engaged in the process.
Research on instruction shows that
most of us remember:
 10% of what we read
 20% of what we hear
 30% of what we see
 50% of what we both see and hear
 70% of what we have discussed with others
 80% of what we have experienced
personally
 95% of what we teach someone else

Types of Learning Styles
There are many different types of
learning inventories, but three main
learning styles:
Visual
Audio
Tactile/Kinesthetic
By integrating collaborative learning,
you will automatically be appealing
to different learning styles.

Tips for Different Learning Styles
Pink Sheet
 Auditory: Record a Summary of What you
have learned (Group Discussions: The role
of the scribe)
 Visual: Take notes, make pictures of
concepts, create graphs, and create charts
(Group Concept Maps: Colored Markers and
a white board)
 Kinesthetic/Tactile: Use models, real
objects, create using technology, and
materials that can be touched
and moved. (Small Groups: Acting out a
Concept)
