Create a page in this wiki to answer this question:
 * Task 1**

Marzano's chapter on Cooperative Learning discusses one of the most popular and one of the most effective classroom instructional strategies: cooperative learning. Like all strategies in this book, it is not always used successfully. Using your own experience and the research and recommendations from this chapter, describe the type of cooperative group work that is likely to lead to enhanced learning for all students. Also, include some reasons that cooperative learning breaks down and actually interferes with students' learning and how you can deal with this in your classroom. Include any cooperative learning techniques that have worked for you (or ones that have not worked and what you did to fix it).

Your wiki should contain:
 * Your answer to the question above
 * At least one image to enhance your answer
 * At least one hyperlink to enhance your answer
 * One discussion question for the other students in class to answer. Ask something that you may be struggling with in the area of cooperative learning or ask for ideas to use in your classroom.

Check out the wikis of your classmates. Answer their discussion questions.
 * Task 2**

You will get 4 class participation points for completing both tasks.

That is it :)
