Collaborative workshop analysis

The implementation of a collaborative workshop implies a series of decision taking during the planning. Initially it is important to decide and focus the learning outcome; sometimes the topic to be studied during the workshop can cover so many themes that it is essential to narrow the information and the kind of discussion to be implemented. In the case of the scavenger hunt we decides to focus on 6 main topics out of 10 options, anyway it seemed that the number of activities proposed exceeded the limitations of time that we had, and caused that at the end of the activity we had to accelerate the things.

On the other hand the opportunity to discuss freely gave them the chance to work on a more confident environment, risk free, where the participant had the opportunity to analyze and take so many aspects into account. The task proposed pretended to create inspiration, to place their thinking in different environments, and to explore other skills in relation to the same topic. It was very interesting to see the participants creating music at the same time of thinking in dropouts. It was also particular not only criticize the actions that cause the dropout but also experience themselves the situation of creating an activity in an area like math to avoid one of the causes of dropouts, so the purpose of creating thinking is a more complex way gave us an interesting experience to be multiplied in our own teaching.
