What do teachers need to collaborate?
They need knowledge, they need attitudes around wanting to collaborate, they need to have the skills for communication, for working with others, dealing with conflict – they need to have a motivation, so there has to be something there that motivates them to want to work together.
Teachers need to have a shared goal in order to work well together.
Leadership is also very important.

How can technology facilitate teacher collaboration?
The cloud has brought opportunities for us to share documents, share videos – share anything we want, using things like OneNote, VoiceThread, Padlet ...
We have the communications platforms like Skype and Adobe Connect, and we have these opportunities of MOOCs, where people can come together like we never could do before, and share wonderful experiences across learning, designing deep learning environments.
One platform in particular is ‘Schoology’. It’s like Yammer, where people can put up examples of their students’ work, and there can be a discussion about it.

THE 4 COLLABORATION QUESTIONS:
1) Are they working together?
2) Do they have shared responsibilities?
3) Do they make substantive decisions?
4) Is their work interdependent?

WORKING WITH OTHERS
Students work together when the activity requires them to work in pairs or groups to discuss an issue, solve a problem or create a product.

SHARING RESPONSIBILITY
Students have shared responsibility when they work in pairs or groups to develop a common product, design or response.
Learners must collectively own the work and be mutually responsible for its outcome.

MAKING SUBSTANTIVE DECISIONS
Students make substantive decisions together when they must resolve important issues that will guide their work together.

My name's Alice. I'm an English and Spanish teacher at a secondary school in Ancona, Le Marche, Italy. My students' age ranges between 14 and 19 years old.

I'm fond of using technology and I'd like it will be an essential tool in everyday school activities in the future since it is very useful, simple and immediate to draw students' attention and develop collaboration.
That’s why I’m here. I want to be an innovative and competent teacher. I hope we'll carry on a really good work together on this amazing course.
