Web 2.0:Technology, Learning, and Teaching

An introduction to the dynamics of the 21st Century learner and the new web tools which facilitate

administration, communication and learning.

How can one create a learning environment in the classroom, the school and the school division to enable...

..."the simultaneous personal and public experience of using all of the tools at the teacher’s disposal to tear down walls, collaborate with each another, and question the traditional role of technology in the classroom"?

How do we ensure that every child has...

...access to the skills and experiences needed to become a full participant in the social, cultural, economic and political future of our society?

...the ability to articulate his or her understanding of how media shapes perceptions of the world?

...been socialized into the emerging ethical standards that should shape their practices as media makers and as participants in online communities?

What is the ‘social’ in social bookmarking?

Social Bookmarking

I have shifted to thinking about the creation itself and how these tools can help my students be the

I used to focus on the “programs” (Word, Excel, Internet).

Allowing students to discover and represent information “THEIR WAY” will give them ownership over the information and therefore their learning.

Guiding them through the process including technological applications will be the teachers’ greatest task. Jim Ellis
