ICT tools for

collaboration and
sharing resources
OBJECTIVES
identify the relevance of collaboration
in real-life situations; and
participate in the exploration of ICT
tools for collaboration.
INTRODUCTION
collaborative tasks are very useful in
acquiring mathematical skills.
when the students are given the
opportunity to work and collaborate
with or among each other, they
develop higher-order thinking skills
as well as self-confidence.
INTRODUCTION
Collaborative math activities like
games promote their social-
emotional skills like self-awareness,
self-management, social
awareness, relationship skills, and
responsible decision-making (Todd,
2020).
INTRODUCTION
With the advent of new innovations
in technology, doing collaborative
tasks may not happen only within
the four walls of the classroom or
within a school.

Recommendations for
Effectively Employing
online collaboration
tools in teaching
 A. Carefully select Specific
Instructional Strategies
According to Hershock and LaVaque-Manty (2012), often,
multiple Online collaboration Tools (OCTs) provide ways to
achieve the same goal, each with its own advantages and
disadvantages. Ultimately, any choice of instructional
technology should be closely aligned with and motivated by
one's teaching and learning goals. The following aspect are
important when selecting options:
 A. Carefully select Specific
Instructional Strategies
1. Start-up Costs-The financial investment required for adopting an
online collaboration tool should be evaluated to ensure it aligns with
available resources and long-term sustainability.
2. IT Support -Adequate technical support is necessary to assist
educators and students in troubleshooting issues and ensuring
seamless tool integration.
 A. Carefully select Specific
Instructional Strategies
3. Tool Overload -Using too many collaboration tools can
overwhelm users, so selecting a few versatile and well-
integrated options is crucial for effective learning.
4. Accessibility - The chosen tool should be accessible to all
learners, considering factors like device compatibility, internet
requirements, and inclusivity features.
B. Protect Students and their Privacy

teachers think about how widely information from a course or a tool

will be shared.
Such as Wiki website, students can be required to produce publicly
available content.
Protect students’ identities and ensure their safety, instructors must
provide the option for students to participate anonymously to to use
an alias, when content is public.
C. Resist the Myth of “Tech-Savvy
Student”
Not all students have advanced digital literacy skills, even if they
frequently use technology.
Familiarity with social media does not equate to proficiency in
academic or professional tools.
Some students may struggle with navigation, troubleshooting, or
using advanced features of online collaboration tools.
Educators should provide clear instructions, training, and
ongoing support to ensure effective tool usage
D. Develop Guidelines for Equitable
and Inclusive Participation
Ensure all students have access to necessary devices, internet
connectivity, and assistive technologies.
Set clear expectations for respectful communication and active
participation in online discussions.
Provide multiple ways for students to engage, such as discussion
boards, live sessions, and recorded content.
Accommodate diverse learning needs by offering flexible
deadlines and alternative task formats.
E. Actively Foster and Sustain Desired
Student Engagement
Use interactive tools like polls, quizzes, and breakout rooms to
encourage participation.
Provide timely feedback and recognition to keep students
motivated and engaged.
Create a supportive online community by promoting
collaboration and peer interaction.
Offer a variety of activities to cater to different learning styles
and preferences.
