This document discusses collaboration skills needed for the 21st century workplace. It provides examples of how to incorporate technology into traditional classroom projects to improve collaboration. Projects like creating movies, podcasts, wikis, and interactive websites allow students to apply knowledge and develop important skills like research, critical thinking, technology literacy, and communication. The document argues that using programs like iMovie, GarageBand, Animoto and online tools engages students and better prepares them for future jobs that demand these types of skills.
