2. Using Messenger to Collaborate and Share Resources with my Teacher and Fellow Students

In this flexible learning environment that our educational system adopted as a result of the pandemic, teachers and students share and collaborate resources through the use of technology, the internet, and even social media platforms, anytime, anywhere.

Using the digital tool, Messenger, I have shared and collaborated resources with my professor and classmates in my Assessment in Learning 2 (PED 18) subject. 

The entire world is already working together. We pool our resources, ideas, and information for the greater good. Collaborating with my classmates enabled me to make individual progress alongside them while working toward a common goal. We are accountable to one another and self-managed with appropriate guidance.

Sharing of subject-related documents/files have been our habit in the group chat. As the assigned group chat leader, I encouraged my fellow classmates to collaborate within the gc. We have shared own-made questions for midterm examinations and PowerPoint presentations that were presented during our class hours. Having these resources stored digitally in the group chat allowed us to access it anytime without hassle to increase effectivity of learning.
