Web 2.0 Resources for Teachers

Collaborating, creating and sharing are the very essence of Web 2.0.  The number and variety of free online technology tools is large and continually expanding.  Included are tools that enable teachers and students to edit videos and photos, create online slide shows, organize and share bookmarks, create digital storyboards, and much more.  We hear about these great tools but we rarely have an opportunity to learn how to use them and to evaluate how they could be helpful in the classroom.  Topics addressed in this course include how:

• students can use Web 2.0 tools to share and collaborate;
• these tools can be used to support higher level thinking skills;
• Web 2.0 tools can be used as "teacher tools"; and
• this supports lifelong learning.
