Act. 1.5 Using TeamWave for Collaboration


 

Collaboration: n. working together to accomplish a task.
Introduction to TeamWave
SOAR-High students will use a program called TeamWave for working together. On TeamWave you will be able to:
  • Create your own room for working with a partner
  • Leave messages
  • Chat
  • Share files
  • Draw together
  • Plan together
For each Unit you will have different partners.  Sometimes your partners will be at one of the other schools, sometimes they will be in another class at your school.  The SOAR-High classes are not exactly balanced between the 3 schools so you will not always have a partner from a different school.

For school collaboration teams  ....

  • All students will team with students from another class. 
  • Sometimes students will team with students from their same school. 
  • Teams will change for different activities, and different units.
