As our society continually evolves, so does our collaboration with one another. No longer does it take place in our classrooms or school conference rooms, but now collaboration can take place anywhere and anytime with anyone. Siemens asserts that new technologies enable us to have more collaborative interaction than ever before (2008). Also, he postulates that people from around the world can have a distributed team working with one another (2008). Because of Skype, web-conferencing, cell phones, and other innovative technologies, we are able to collaborate with people from around the world. This empowers us to glean ideas from one another in order to bring to fruition things we have never dreamed of before.
