Seamless technologies embedded within the
classroom play a
significant role in the learning process allowing real - time collaboration and
connection across the room or across the globe.
Teachers should offer: (1) collaborative learning, which entails collaborative intellectual exchanges among students and ensures that all
classroom participants are actively involved in the learning process; (2) meaningful learning, which builds on student experiences and knowledge by making
connections to
significant events in their lives; and (3) cultural resources, which pro-actively build on the cultural, family, and community assets, values and practices students bring from home (Boykin & Noguera, 2011; Ramani & Siegler, 2011; Yeager & Walton, 2011).
