Dubner, S. J. (2005, July 5). How Did This Collaboration Work? Retrieved from Freakonomics: http://www.freakonomics.com/2005/07/12/how-did-this-collaboration-work/

Stephen Dubnar talks about how he and fellow Freakonomics co-host Steven Levitt collaborate in order to provide an interesting look at some of life’s nuances that we take for granted.  Mr. Dubnar is a journalist, while Mr. Levitt, is an economist.  This article describes how the two blended their respective professions to create not only one, but two, best-selling books.

Eustice, K. (2012, October 20). Exploring student collaboration in schools - live chat. The Guardian. http://www.guardian.co.uk/teacher-network/2012/oct/20/student-collaboration-teachers-schools-live-chat

This article from The Guardian looks at how teachers and student are collaborating to make learning more effective.  I think this article poses an interesting question.  Do students learn more if they actively participate in the academic structuring of a classroom?
