INTRODUCTION

Collaboration in education using technology benefits teachers, students and communities as a whole. This journal was a case study around virtual mentoring. From this case study teachers were able to identify exact areas of improvement in writing for their students. In addition teachers discovered great writing abilities students had by using virtual mentoring.

REFLECTION I chose this journal because it is a great

example of how collaborating with other schools in a different location can be successful. Teachers were able to zero in on student problem areas using technology instead of making the assumption where the student needed help.

This article is from the ERIC database regarding collaboration in electronic learning communities. The articles display how the online community is tied to collaborating. “Thru collaboration according to Palloff and Pratt, (2005) critical thinking, promotion of initiative, and creative thinking,” are some of the accomplishments that come from collaborating.

REFELECTION This article is a good supporting

document for any teacher who wants to start using technology in the classroom and possibly collaborate with other student teachers outside their immediate area.

This journal is from the ERIC database and gives a broad view of teaching and learning online. This journal puts in perspective that even though collaboration is great, there needs to be control concepts in place so one can continue to build on the overall collaborative experience.

REFLECTION This journal gives a broad view of

collaboration regarding education. It forced me to think about the bad

and good potentials of using technology in education; additionally, armed me with information to analyze.
