Collaborative Learning in The Digital Age

Storybirds are a great way to get teachers and students involved interacting with each other. It also helps the teacher get to understand their students in a different way than they can when they are teaching in a classroom setting. Teachers could also assign class projects through Storybird. It is a very good way to get your students involved with more fun and creative learning ways.

Students that are in collaborative learning and who use technology are way more prepared for 21st century jobs. Jobs in the 21st century are changing everyday, there are jobs that we are not as students even being prepared because we are trying to get jobs that are around now instead of what will be around. This quote can be found under the Benefits and Disadvantages of Collaboration "technology can add flexibility of time and space" because it allows people know to hold meetings and other things without having to go meet them somewhere. The world is changing more and more each day with cell phones, computers, and the work place. In like 10 years from now probably just about every college will have a campus along with a virtual campus so if you want you can stay at home and do your school work from your house. Also the use of Skype is essential for businesses today so they can hold conferences with other parts of their company from across the world. There is just so many new things that can help us 21st century learners we just have to find ways to use them.
