4-Collaborator-Educators dedicate time to collaborate with both colleagues and students to improve practice, discover and share resources and ideas, and solve problems. Educators: 4a- Dedicate planning time to collaborate with colleagues to create authentic learning experiences that leverage technology. 4b-Collaborate and co-learn with students to discover and use new digital resources and diagnose and troubleshoot technology issues. 4c-Use collaborative tools to expand students' authentic, real-world learning experiences by engaging virtually with experts, teams and students, locally and globally. 4d-Demonstrate cultural competency when communicating with students, parents and colleagues and interact with them as co-collaborators in student learning.

I think this assignment helped me tap into my inner collaborator and think about the resources and ideas to solve an issue in the classroom or to bring some improvements to the lives of the students we (will) have. This standards includes co-learning with the students and I think this is an important aspect of DC and how they utilize technology to accomplish their classroom goals. Finally, demonstrating cultural competencies when communicating with others in student learning perfectly embodies this assignment as well as the role of the teachers on DonorsChoose.
