Abstract
Communication technology, which is not constrained by geographical boundaries, has increasingly
resulted in faster and more efficient ways to maintain contact. When utilising electronic technology
in the classroom it is essential for teachers to respect cultural differences and instil the importance of
basic communication skills to their students. Many school students are extremely comfortable in using
developing technologies, but are unaware ofthe equally important need to establish relationships to
enhance the quality of information they are exchanging. Electronic communication is a necessary part
of developing the skills of a lifelong learner. These forms of communication have encouraged processes
such as collaboration to occur by creating exciting synergies between people and resources that may have
not been previously possible. This chapter will explore several examples of how schools and teachers
are using the Internet to collaborate and share ideas and resources between staff and students.
