Title:Student Collaboration and School Educational Technology: Technology Integration Practices in the Classroom
Author Name:Kathleen Scalise
Synopsis:
With the onset of Web 2.0 and 3.0 – the social and semantic webs – a next wave for integration of educational technology into the classroom is occurring. The aim of this paper is to show how some teachers are increasingly bringing collaboration and shared meaning-making through technology environments into learning environments (Evergreen Education Group, 2014). Purpose is to show a case study of how teachers include student-to-student online collaboration in their Technology Integration Practices (TIP), and how some research projects are examining useful methodologies for incorporating evaluation, assessment and reflection of the approaches (Wilson et al., 2012; Wilson, Scalise, & Gochyyev, 2014). Results from the use of TIP collaborative math/science notebooks in the Assessment and Teaching of 21st Century Skills (ATC21S) project are presented. Recommendations are to help teachers answer key questions about how to assess and evaluate collaborative work online, and how to employ such techniques in the classroom
