    Technology provides tools to facilitate collaboration between students. Students can be given issues to discuss and work through together using communication technologies like texting, emailing, or online documents. This allows students to have productive discussions outside of class and come to agreements to present to the full class. Wikis, blogs, video conferencing, and other online tools allow asynchronous collaboration on projects and reports, with team members contributing whenever they have time. However, Wikipedia itself should not be cited elsewhere as it can contain inaccurate or incomplete information since it is open to editing by any user.

    Technology as a Collaboration Tool

    One way to engage students is to give them a challenge and a chance to work together.

     Give students an issue to discuss which they can continue talking about even if they
    are outside of the class. Students can come up with an agreement by texting, emailing,
    chatting, or using the line document. Once they have agreed, they can move to the
    next step of presenting their agreements to the whole class.

     Normally, teachers discourage students from conversing with classmates during


    individual work, but there are times when it can be beneficial as students talk about
    the task assigned to them or work themselves through a difficult task.

    There are a lot of tools and applications available to help you collaborate with others more
    effectively.
    Skype, wikis, blogs, Google forms, web conferencing, and Realtimeboard are a few
    examples. To become acquainted with the features of each application, you must first explore
    it.
    1. Skype – is a software application allowing you to do a
    videoconferencing for free. All you need is to create an
    account and can be used for a video meeting.

    2. Wiki – is a software that allows you to create a page or a


    selection of pages designed to allow you to post or write,
    edit, or upload a link quickly.
    The main purpose of wikis is to create a space where people can collaborate in writing a same
    text on a single topic and relate this text to other texts. An other main purpose of many wikis
    is sharing knowledge for a common good,
    A wiki allows a group of people to enter and communally edit bits of text. These bits of
    text can be viewed and edited by anyone who visits the wiki. That's it. What it means is that,
    when you come to a wiki, you are able to read what the wiki's community has written.

    what is the main benefit of a wiki?


    A main advantage of a wiki is that it provides the ability to collaborate
    asynchronously, or without any time constraints. Team members working on a
    report can log in and work whenever they are able.
    Wikipedia is not a reliable source for citations elsewhere on Wikipedia. As a user-
    generated source, it can be edited by anyone at any time, and any information it contains at
    a particular time could be vandalism, a work in progress, or simply incorrect
