Module 2 Discussion
The collaborative classroom began in the orginal brick and mortal schools with students collaborating face to face. The internet has broadened the horizon with students persuing online degrees through collaborative interaction on university portals, blogs, wikispaces etc. Online tools that help students collaborate include: email, conferences, shared documents, videos, blogs, wikispaces, skype, etc. Any type of tool that can help students research, discover, and improve their skills would be considered collaboration.

Having dialog constitutes collaboration. Discusses online using email, conferences, shared documents, videos, blogs, wikispace, Skype, and other social networks leads to transference of knowledge. Leaving comments and responding lets others know your view. Yes, the traditional setting is good, but online provides a variety of avenues. Online learning can be done anywhere at anytime versus meeting at a specific place and time.

ReplyDeleteThe tools you mentioned for online collaboration are great. How could you encourage a 4th grader to participate in an online setting if the student refused to participate? I believe this would be very difficult for the instructor to address.
