10. Online Collaboration

What's good y'all? I'm just gonna jump right into it this week. Online collaboration is a very valuable tool that even 1st graders in NJ are taking advantage of. Technology is really changing the way we learn, its kinda crazy. I don't even think that I had access to the internet in the 1st grade. The only thing schools' need to remember to do is block off certain sites which are not appropriate for all the little ones. By utilizing the internet at such a young age it is going to prepare young children for high school/college/real world far more than previous generations because online collaboration is one of the most helpful aspects that can used to complete homeworks, write papers, and work on group projects. If you want even more information about online collaboration in schools then check out the article I read.

The second article I read discussed how corporate culture drives online collaboration and not technology. I couldn't agree more with this article. If the corporate culture that you work in takes part in online collaboration and encourages/requires you to use it then you will but if not it is very easy to ignore online collaboration. The technology is there and will always be there but if the corporation doesn't make it apart of their culture then its something, besides IT people, that will not be utilized.

I suggest you guys to check out both articles. The Bosssssss is peacing out y'all...CHURCH.
