Tips
• Create, find, adapt collaborations around BIG IDEAS
• The tools aren’t important - choose your goals and then “call a friend”
• Digital Tools - choose simple, straightforward
Ask Yourself
• Do the collaborative activities reach the goals? (easy to get caught up)
• Does every student in your class need to participate?
• How are you sharing? (networking)
