This document discusses various online collaboration tools that can be used for teaching and learning. It begins by outlining learning outcomes for a lesson on ICT tools for collaboration and sharing resources. It then provides descriptions of collaboration tools like chat, Skype, Wimba Live Classroom, Google Hangouts, and Zoom.us. Recommendations are provided for effectively employing online collaboration tools in teaching, such as carefully selecting tools, protecting student privacy, and fostering student engagement. Additional tools are discussed, including Blogger, Google Docs, Google Hangouts, and Piazza. The document concludes with thanks.

4. The use of text-based cat
in an online math or science
community has beed seen as an
advantage both for teachers and
students when they are able to
collaborate their ideas and
thoughts regarding mathematics
and science topics which are
abstract and difficult.

5. Allows for a more free-
flowing conversation and
require less preparation for
the facilitators.

10. Research
Collaborati
on Tools

11. One of the significant activities that can
be done together by mathematics or science
teachers and students is to do research. As
they do research together, the opportunity to
share resources and inputs can be aided by
technological tools.
