This topic introduces digital collaboration platforms such as Google Docs, Microsoft Teams, and Padlet, highlighting their benefits for cloud-based collaborative work. It covers real-time interaction features like live chat, video conferencing, and screen sharing, supporting both teacher-student and peer-to-peer communication. The topic also addresses digital etiquette and safety, including netiquette, managing online conflicts, and avoiding misinformation.
In groups, students will design a collaborative activity and select a suitable digital tool to support it. The activity will be shared with other groups, and after implementation, each group will submit a reflection explaining the activity, justifying the choice of tool, and discussing what worked well and what could be improved.
Groups are given classroom scenarios (each group will be given a different scenario) to determine which tools and features (chat, screen sharing, etc.) would enhance collaboration. They document strategies in a shared Google Doc and present their scenario and their suggestions to the class.
Think: Students individually review an online communication scenario and consider solutions following proper etiquette and netiquette.
Pair: Students discuss their ideas with a partner, refine their solution, and agree on the best approach.
Share: Each pair posts their solution in the Moodle Interactive Activity.
Students research two collaboration tools relevant to their subject, analyzing each tool’s strengths, weaknesses, and potential classroom applications. They create a brief summary of their findings, which can be submitted as text, infographic, or audio. Afterwards, students review a peer’s summary and provide structured feedback.
