Communication

Students use digital media and environments to communicate and work collaboratively, including at a distance, to support individual learning and contribute to the learning of others. Students:
 * Communication and Collaboration**
 * a**. interact, collaborate, and publish with peers, experts, or others employing a variety of digital environments and media.
 * b**. communicate information and ideas effectively to multiple audiences using a variety of media and formats.
 * c**. develop cultural understanding and global awareness by engaging with learners of other cultures.
 * d.** contribute to project teams to produce original works or solve problems.


 * **How is communication different from collaboration?** Communication is discussion, sharing ideas & knowledge, and expressing thoughts. Communication can be imported from others to exported to a group. Collaboration is working together towards one goal. Collaboration may include different jobs for different individuals, but are joined for one outcome.
 * **How can the technologies we have used so far meet the communication and collaboration objects as outlined above?** Using annotated text on Microsoft Word is a way students can use technology to analyze a reading or even build and revise their writing.
 * **How can a wiki be used as a tool for online collaboration?** Students/Classes can use wikis to submit and show work by uploading documents. The wiki discussion tab can be used to comment on work, share ideas and ask questions.
