technology integration

What are the implications for technology integration?

• Use of low-tech communication tools to foster community, e.g., email listservs, blogs, newsgroups, discussion forums, Internet Relay Chat (IRC), and instant messaging (IM)
• Growth of content management systems (e.g., WebCT, Blackboard, Mooddle) to create cognitive apprenticeships among small group collaborations
• Development of architecturally-structured K-12 professional development forums, i.e., TappedIn
• Integration of videoconferencing for work collaboration, e.g., Flash Communication Server, Breeze, WebEx
• Creation of business-oriented COP tools with shared workspace areas as well as the ability to synchronize with email messages and calendar appointments
