4. Why Collaborative Learning? Why do you think working together (collaboration) is an important skill? What would students benefit from working together?

5. Students can clarify and organize their ideas well enough to verbalize them to others. Students have opportunities to elaborate on what they have learned. Students are exposed to the views of others – views that may reflect a more accurate understanding of the topics under discussion. Students discover how people from different cultural and ethnic backgrounds may interpret the world in different but valid ways. Some of the Benefits of Collaboration

6. Then, how would ICT help your students achieve those benefits of collaboration? Why Telecollaboration?

7. Engaging reluctant students and promoting "more egalitarian classrooms” Enabling activities that were previously not possible, e.g., Corresponding with "experts" Increase students’ comprehension of issues through contact with "real" people in "real" places.
