Telecollaboration in the Classroom through Project Based Learning

Telecollaboration in the classroom helps greatly develope students critical thinking skills by allowing them to understand the "who, what where and why," of a subject. By working with others you are giving students the tools to fully understand the information they are learning and to deval deaper into any questions that they might have. Also by working with others, students are able to get insight and make improvements to areas that they may not have even known needed improvement if it weren't for their classmates. Kids become more familiar with what they are learning if we give them the options to decide how they want to learn. Also by giving them the tools to cater their own learning, kids can actually teach others about the information provided and greatly improve their own understanding by relaying what they know. According to Bloom's Taxonomy, you must remember the knowledge your given before you can even get to a level of understanding, so how do we get the information to children in such a way that they want to remember it? Telecollaboration could be the key to thorough understanding.
