TYPES OF COLLABORATIVE ICT LESSONSPROJECTS & PRESENTATIONS

Web 2. 0 Tools : Online Photo, Video sharing etc. play supporting roles.

For example, we can upload the images/videos we capture from our mobile phones and cameras and upload them to the sites.

Relevant images/videos are then linked from the wiki to these online sharing sites (saves wiki online storage space)
