2. What are Web 2.0 Technologies?
Web 2.0 or the Read/Write Web refers to:
the collection of communication technologies on the Web that enable
users to not only read and gather information, but to contribute
to, collaborate on and edit that information.
software tools that allow groups to generate content and engage in
peer-to-peer conversations and exchange of content (e.g. blogs,
wikis, social networks, etc).
Sometimes referred to as social media or collaborative
environments

8. The Australian context...
The trends in media use by children and young people(2010) study
found:
...for Australian youth, online participation was the second most
popular and time-intensive media activity behind television
viewing.
...the importance of communications activities such as instant
messaging and social networking [was] clearly apparent.
9. Communication is Changing...
More access to information than ever before
Participatory culture
Media communication is no longer one-to-many but peer-to-peer,
involving the end user in the creation or adaptation of
content
Emphasis on knowledge sharing and collaboration
The influence of social media and networking technologies
Texts and resources are increasingly digital and non-linear
New technologies and ways of communicating require not only
familiarity with tools but appropriate high level thinking and
information literacy
Digital literacies as essential 21st century skills - an extra
level alongside traditional literacy, rather than a
replacement.
10. Digital Literacy
Todays technology driven society also requires digital literacy,
which means that an individual can read and write digitally in
order to 'access the Internet; find, manage and edit digital
information; join in communications; and otherwise engage with an
online information and communications network...(Blackall, L
2005).
11. A Digital Education Project
Aims:
To improve our own digital literacy as teachers.
To gain familiarity, competence and confidence with using Web 2.0
technologies for enhanced learning.
To access the potential of these technologies ourselves in our own
approach to professional development.
To equip ourselves for effective use of Web 2.0 in our
classrooms.
To apply Web 2.0 technologies in our classrooms where appropriate
to enhance learning outcomes and promote authentic learning.

In curriculum planning am I thinking beyond equipping for VCE
tasks?
