Best Use of Technology  
Students use the Internet for project research to find new or frequently changing information or for information that is not easily accessible via print resources.
Students use technology to communicate with students in other places. Collaborators have different skills, knowledge, experience, perspective, data or geography than exists locally. Collaborators may be sharing, analyzing, and synthesizing results or working on a joint product.
