The document discusses tools for telecollaboration such as Google Hangouts, Second Life, and eTwinning that allow students to videoconference, interact through avatars in a virtual world, create pen pals, and publish projects. It also lists benefits of telecollaboration like learning to be both teachers and learners, thinking critically, and exploring other cultures. The document proposes applying these ideas to teaching by creating motivating projects, activities that use language in a real way, and integrating multiple subjects.
