Week 4 Disscussion



The following quote that caught my attention this week was “Technology can play a unique and vital role in cooperative learning by facilitating group collaboration, providing structure for group tasks, and allowing members of groups to communicate even if they are not working face to face.” (Pitler, Hubbell, Kuhn, & Malenoski, 2007 p.140)
We are being asked to learn using these strategies in our Master’s program. When I was in high school if someone would have told me that I could earn a Bachelors or Masters from a university in another state or city from my kitchen table, I would have laughed at that person. Now you can complete an entire Bachelors degree or Masters without leaving your hometown, or even your home. Who knows where today’s technology and future technology will take the education of our children.
