Reshaping The Past;

Embracing Our Future

"Taking Web 2.0 to School"

Deborah Goodman and Gail Holmes

Educators on Loan, NCDPI

We will be using this pbwiki to explore Web 2.0 tools. We will demonstrate how it becomes a collaborative tool for the creation of content, the sharing of ideas and the collaboration with others outside the four walls of a classroom. If we are to prepare students for the 21st Century and beyond, we must look at new technologies and welcome them.

Web 2.0 tools such as wikis, blogs, google docs, skype, yugma and others will be shared. Our goal for you is to explore this wiki and be prepared to share one or more of these tools with others and/or integrate them in your classroom.  To navigate through the pages of this wiki, click on the SideBar to the right.  To add a new page, retrieve uploaded files or make comments, you will need to log in.

So, how do you become a 21st century teacher using the Web 2.0 tools?

• Choose one technology at a time; explore its use personally and professionally (get comfortable with it)
• Define your purpose for the technology (How will I use it?  How does it connect to my content?)
• Revisit your acceptable use policy (How does it address this technology?)
• Teach responsible use of the technology (safety guidelines, netiquette, and consequences for inappropriate conduct)
• Get started
