DESCRIPTION

The Internet allows individuals and groups to communicate and collaborate in ways never before possible. Students are coming to school as experienced Internet users, communicators, and publishers, many being a lot more tech-savvy than their teachers and parents. You will learn about today’s students and today’s technologies; ways to develop and participate in educational learning networks; and methods for creating meaningful educational experiences through tools such as Wikis, blogs, and social networking and media sites.

Web 2.0

"Web 2.0 is an invented term, coined in 2004… It encompasses the growing collection of new and emerging Web-based tools. Many are similar in function to desktop applications, with people using their browsers for access rather than installing the software on computers. Many tools are free and available to all, a change from applications that are purchased or licensed annually. Others are social in nature and promote self-expression, such as the community networks, blogs, wikis, and photo and video sharing sites."

Literacy 2.0

“Literacy 2.0 necessarily involves extensive participation, collaboration, and the

distribution of expertise and "intelligence," along with widely dispersed access to human

and informational resources.”

Knobel, C., & Wilber, D. (2009, March). Who are today's learners. Educational Leadership, 66(6), 20-24.

Are we doing it?

“What year are you preparing your students for? 1973? 1995? Can you honestly say that your school’s curriculum and the program you use are preparing students for 2015 or 2020? Are you even preparing them from today?”

Jacobs, H. (2010). Curriculum 21: essential education for a changing world. Alexandria, VA: ASCD, 1.

Becoming Web 2.0

“These Web 2.0 tools – social bookmarking, video sharing, social networking, wikis, all the things that let people create and share knowledge- are really very powerful for professional development because they reinforce the message that we want professional development to be an experience where everybody learns from everybody else.”

Chris DedeCrow, T. (2010, February). Learning, no matter where you are. JSD, 31 (1),
