Notes to Facilitator

The purpose of this tutorial is to provide an overview of the benefits of collaboration and some of the ICT collaboration tools that are available to teachers to facilitate collaboration. This tutorial should focus specifically on tools that can be used to help student collaboration within and beyond the classroom. The introductory passage below has been provided as a guide to set the scene and should be adapted as necessary.

The facilitator will need to make available two resources for the students to review. These can be made available in printed format or displayed on an overhead monitor.
