Building Learning Communities 2011

Both The Partnership for 21st Century Skills and ISTE have outlined what they believe to be 21st century skills today's schools need to be teaching students. A common standard they have both identified is the ability for students to interact, collaborate and publish with peers and experts in multiple environments through a variety of mediums. In this session, we will analyze why the ability to collaborate effectively is a critical skill and how educators can facilitate student collaboration through Google Docs.
