We know
that collaboration is an essential twenty-first century skill and that teamwork
in the classroom can enhance student understanding. By using free web 2.0 tools such as blogs and
social networks, students can engage in collaboration in new and powerful ways
while also practicing writing skills and developing digital citizenship. In this session, participants will learn

accounts, model meaningful and appropriate online communication, and
successfully implement these tools in your classroom using 1:1 or shared iPads.
