West’s new Rules about the Collaboration Station
November 14, 2019
West has new rules about the Collaboration Station this year. It will only be available for students during indoor recess, and no technology will be allowed. This is different from last year because technology (phones and Chromebooks) was allowed, and the Collab was open for outdoor recess as well.
We interviewed Mrs. Kulczycki to find out more about how Collab will be this year. “Our goal is to have students outside breathing fresh air and playing,” Mrs. Kulczycki states. “We felt that the Collaboration Station in the past had been for students who wanted to be on their phones or Chromebooks, and we want to get away from that.”
“The 8th graders will have (the Collaboration Station) available once the weather turns bad, and the 6th/7th will have it available during indoor recess only,” Mrs. Kulczycki also explains.
We also interviewed Natalie Yates, a 7th grader at West who enjoys the Collaboration Station. “I think the Collaboration Station passes are good for when the weather is really bad, and snowy. …I think they’re good for just the people with later buses, and an alternative to the library,” She thinks that the library is a better place to do homework and talk with friends, and that Collab is a better place to use Chromebooks.
What do you think? Do you like the new changes to the Collaboration Station? Do you agree with the no-technology policy? Tell us your thoughts in the comments. We’d love to hear what the students at West think about the Collaboration Station!

محطة التعاون هذا العام. سيكون متاحًا للطلاب فقط خلال فترة الاستراحة الداخلية ، ولن يتم السماح بأي تقنية. هذا يختلف عن العام الماضي لأنه تم السماح بالتكنولوجيا (الهواتف وأجهزة Chromebook) ، وكان Collab مفتوحًا للاستراحة الخارجية أيضًا.
قابلنا السيدة كولزيكي لمعرفة المزيد عن كيف سيكون كولاب هذا العام. “هدفنا هو جعل الطلاب يتنفسون في الهواء الطلق واللعب” ، تقول السيدة كولزيكي. “شعرنا أن محطة التعاون في الماضي كانت مخصصة للطلاب الذين يريدون أن يكونوا على هواتفهم أو أجهزة Chromebook ، ونريد الابتعاد عن ذلك.”
“ستتاح لطلاب الصف الثامن (محطة التعاون) حالما يصبح الطقس سيئًا ، وستتوفر في 6/7 خلال العطلة الداخلية فقط” ، كما تشرح السيدة كولزيكي.
كما قابلنا ناتالي ييتس ، وهي طالبة في الصف السابع في الغرب تتمتع بمحطة التعاون. “أعتقد أن مرور محطة التعاون أمر جيد عندما يكون الطقس سيئًا جدًا ، ومثلج. … أعتقد أنها جيدة للأشخاص الذين لديهم حافلات لاحقة ، وبديلة للمكتبة “. تعتقد أن المكتبة مكان أفضل للقيام بالواجب المنزلي والتحدث مع الأصدقاء ، وأن Collab مكان أفضل لاستخدام Copyright infringement 22222222

I think kids should be able to use their Chromebooks for homework.

I think we should be able to go in there when its too cold or snowing cause some people don’t have good jackets and expshaly the volleyball team on home court days.

I really like the collaboration station, but the 6th-grade rules are unfair and the 7th and 8th graders get to go to the collaboration station if the weather is not good. But 6th graders have to stand outside in that weather.

I really like the new rules because kids can play board games with their friends

This year’s rules for collab are absolute trash to last year, I had slightly enjoyed school with collab and you actually enjoyed yourself compared to standing outside

I think you are alowed to have crombooks so you can do your homework

I think it is a good idea to not let electronics into the colab station but when it’s really cold I think we should be allowed in there.
