Collaboration+2.0

**Collaboration 2.0 Sand Box**
Collaboration, conversation, communication, cooperation are indicators of 21st Century learning as we build our own personal learning environments and personal learning networks.

At NECC 2008 in San Antonio, Texas, a cadre of Apple Distinguished Educators (ADEs) will demonstrate the power of Web 2.0 tools in the educational environment. Thousands of Web 2.0 tools exist on the Internet and most are free of charge, only requiring a username and password. Because of time limitations only a few of the tools will be explored. Use the navigation bar on the left to view the tools.

Files can be shared with invited contributors and can be edited synchronously or asynchronously.
