    The Google Docs and Spreadsheets program from Google Apps Premier saves work to the Google server and allows users to access it through any Internet connection and collaborate in real time.

    The education and training of students to become culturally competent and globally aware is a priority in higher education. Faculty hold the keys to international experience for students by offering an international curricular focus, coursework, and enrichment projects. Utilization of the Internet as a portal for international collaboration holds promise to broaden the ability of faculty to facilitate global education and research. This pilot study assesses the current participation in, support of, and barriers to Internet-based international collaborations of 34 faculty from 13 different countries. A high level of personal experience with Internet collaborations utilizing primarily e-mail and online chat was reported by 82% of the faculty. Common barriers cited to Internet-based collaboration were the lack of administrative and financial support to begin or maintain the activity. An overwhelming majority (90%) of the respondents indicated the need for an Internet-based portal for the purpose of international collaboration and education.

    This study shows the high effectiveness of being able to simultaneously collaborate on the same projects through web-based tools.

    No longer is it enough to be able to read the
    printed word; children, youth, and adults need the ability to critically interpret the powerful images of a
    multimedia culture. Media literacy education provides a framework and pedagogy for the new literacy
    needed for living, working, and citizenship in the 21st century. Moreover, it paves the way to
    mastering the skills required for lifelong learning in a constantly changing world.
