Communication and Collaboration Tools

One of the most effective and useful purposes of the internet is to be able to communicate and collaborate with others. There are many different tools that help us do that. A simple example is creating an email group so that you can quickly email information to a specific group of people without entering separate names each time. Other tools that allow for communication and collaboration, especially when a working group is not physically in the same place, are; blogs, wikis, Google Docs, Edmodo, Facebook, Skype, Google Chat, etc.

You will be put into a small group to work together to solve a puzzle. The objective of your group is to locate a picture of a specific object. Each group member will have ONE PIECE of the puzzle to solve. When the group members each solve their own piece of the puzzle, they will share their answer with the other group members. Once all the members have shared their individual answers, the whole group will communicate with each other to work out the final answer. Then they will find a picture of what their solution is to share with the class.
