Outcomes of Collaborating

Utilizing technology to connect peer groups to one another as well as experts living at a distance helps students learn how to become more involved, engaged, and responsible digital citizens.

“”

Class-to-class collaborations give teachers an opportunity to enhance their students’ educational and social experiences in ways that are engaging and accessible.

—Distance Learning Coordinator

“What if we were able to connect our students with students somewhere else? Somewhere a little more difficult to reach due to distance, time constraints, travel expenses or situational barriers. We have that ability right now! Virtual Learning technology is an incredible tool. Today we can use this tool to connect students with their peers anywhere in the world. Making these connections allows students to see and more importantly interact with other people around the world.”
