Engaging in Collaborative Communities involves thinking differently about how we interact, the alternative use of spaces, and capturing ideas based on learner strengths and preferences. For this workshop, our classroom was comprised of a condominium on top of a recreation center. We had everything set up in a living room. It was quite perfect for the ten participants in my group, because we had a beautiful terrace with lounge chairs and tables with umbrellas. We had to think differently about how we could collaborate to maximize the space. It was a real hardship to recline on the loungers during our breaks and drink freshly made fruit punch and lemonade. The alternative classroom set up helped us to think differently about collaboration and how we can rethink our spaces to allow for more authentic connections to naturally occur.
