Teachers using the Internet to collaborate The Power of Collaboration Throughout history educators have worked in isolation. With the use of the Internet educators are beginning to work together.
Collaboration is one of the most rewarding yet most difficult ways to use the Internet as a tool.
While working on the Wind Unit created by the Franklin Institute Science Museum I had the opportunity to work with five other teachers also teaching about wind. I found that there were many obstacles to overcome yet the rewards were far greater. In the beginning each of the teachers tried to keep pace with one another. We soon discovered that keeping a similar schedule was not necessary. If we worked at different paces we were able to learn from each other's successes and failures.
