Communication

By its very nature, technology brings people, information and ideas together. It defies the limitations of geography, forming authentic, dynamic partnerships and online networks that extend learning beyond the classroom into local and global communities. These partnerships expose learners to different forms of communication and collaboration, and equip them with immense possibilities to access, share and create knowledge with others at school, at home and across the world.
