Initial thoughts about Web 2.0 and its role in 21st century teaching and learning:

It’s an emerging technology that connects people and ideas.  Information is at your fingertips.  Allows for collaboration, creativity, and contributions between people around the world. Provides tools that can be used to share ideas and information.  Its a web of people that will build life long friendships, while becoming life long learners.  Allows for change and continued learning.

Consider ways Web 2.0 tools might change your professional practices:

Can use tools to access varies medias, such as blogging and podcasting.  Large amount of information easy to access.  Latest data at my finger tips, making it possible for me to be more current. I can share ideas with collegues and vice versa.  Blogs can be shared with parents, students, administrators, thereby keeping everyone informed on what is going on in my class room.  Can share lesson plans to learn about topics being taught by my student’s other teachers. Share strategies and ideas with collegues, to integrate topics across subjects.  Students write their own blogs and share. Writing more indepht.  Student activily engaged in their learning.  Web 2.0 opens the lines of communication for everyone concerned.  There are few limits to what is possible.

How might you use to engage today’s digital learners and why:

Students write their own blogs and share. Writing more in depth.  Student actively engaged in their learning. Students can benefit from reading each others blogs. Students can use podcast to communicate with parents about classroom learning.

How to support your own learning:
