Barbara - This is a great start on both summaries! Remember to use the present tense when you are writing summaries. I think you can elaborate more on the second summary ("What is collaborative learning). I would suggest going back to the article and highlighting the main points found throughout the article.

The article "What is a collaborative learning?" by Barbara Leigh Smith and Jean T.MacGregor, presents the idea of students and teachers working as a group. This is a change in the traditional way of teaching, not just with the explanation of the professor (teacher-centered), the students will also apply others ways of learning.

With collaborative learning activities the students will not just receive the information but they will create something new, helping their intellectual processing of “constructing meaning”. Collaborative works, that means, a group working together, will improve the student's skills by using different methods, such as, writing groups, simulations and workshops, which give students the chance to be challenged.
