>> Technology allows for students to have many methods to help complete their assignments students. Students may find their studies more interesting if they are able to use a variety of strategies to get their work finished. technology gives students ability for more people to get online to revise or build on the work that has already been completed > Cooperation is different from collaboration because when people collaborate on an assignment or project they are building to the completions, students are adding or have a stake in the outcome of the project or assignment. When people are cooperating, they are just going with adhering to rules or directions not building or taking a stake in the outcome making the project or assignment great > I feel the greatest challenge is telling students that it is ok for their assignment or task to not be perfect the first time.
