New Strategies for Comprehension and Collaboration

In small groups, we are smarter. In well-structured groups, we leverage each other's thinking. We learn more not just because we all bring different pieces of the puzzle, but because, through talk, we can actually make new and better meaning together. --Stephanie Harvey and Harvey "Smokey" Daniels Watch a video overview.
