"SiriNam Khalsa has created, collected and adapted many activities that could
be used to help students and teachers deal with issues related to cooperative
learning: team building, social skills acquisition, friendship issues,
decision-making and problem-solving skills development. I can see teachers
using these activities to enhance positive feelings and behavior in the
classroom, especially for middle and high school students."
