"The work of students is increasingly seen as collaborative by nature, and there is more cross-campus collaboration between departments. While this trend is not as widespread as the others listed here, where schools have created a climate in which students, their peers, and their teachers are all working towards the same goals, where research is something open even to first year students, the results have shown tantalizing promise. Increasingly, both students and their professors see the challenges facing the world as multidisciplinary, and the need for collaboration great. Over the past few years, the emergence of a raft of new (and often free) tools has made collaboration easier than at any other point in history."
Nice connection to our SUNY System Amanda. I too appreciate how accessible information is on the system and find it almost maddening when professors do not utilize it to its fullest potential.
In the elementary school setting I imagine it could potentially exist much as it does with the SUNY system. The district where I am doing my observation has something similar, but I am not positive. I will look into it further and investigate how they use their technological resources in collaboration with each other.
