Technology that Facilitates Collaboration
Presentation Advice
Importance of Collaboration
- What is collaboration?
- Essentially it is the idea that "the whole is greater than the sum of the parts" or synergy
- Collaboration is intergrated within the education system; essentially all education is the product of collaboration
- Dada example: Francis Picabia’s "L’Oeil Cacodylate"
- Dada did to art what technology is doing to education
