The ability to Collaborate
The Australian Curriculum states that by the end of year 10 students should have the capacity to collaborate, plan and rehearse drama pieces with other students.

The World Theatre Group allows students to use online collaboration with others overseas to create such videos as the one you just viewed.
According to Robert Cohen the art of Drama is a collaborative working form. Cohen explains it is vital to work collaboratively to successfully create theatre. Not only is collaboration vital to the successful creation of theatre, but also to the success of students in future life.
To collaborate in the drama classroom students will be using ICTs such as wikispaces where they add to online blogs and have the ability to view what others have added as well. This allows students to keep a record of what they find on the internet, in other places, and how the experiences make them feel. The students can use sites like these to combine their works with the works of others to create projects and share the work load.
The major benefit of online collaboration is the ability to collaborate with more than one socio-group eg. different schools, and with other countries and regions as the World Theatre group collaboration video shows. This enables students to gain a sense of understanding about people and art forms from around the world, widening their learning experiences.
