| Slide 1 |
Don’t Miss the Point…
…and don’t let Web 2.0 stand in your way…
|
| Slide 2 |
Web 2.0 – Is for all of us…
Web 2.0 is cross-platform, in fact it is platform-less.
Web 2.0 is two way communications at its most powerful
Web 2.0 is not just for your kids and your students
|
| Slide 3 |
Web 1.0 – Static Web 2.0 – Interactive Web 3.0 – Database Driven
|
| Slide 4 |
We can do new and better things with Web 2.0 technology….
Not Just The Old Stuff Faster….
|
| Slide 5 |
So How Should one Use Web 2.0 in Teaching?
|
| Slide 6 |
Research of Course…
Will Never Be The Same….
|
| Slide 7 |
Google NoteBook
Google Notebook is a free service from Google that is an interactive scratch pad for any visited web pages, offering to collect web findings within the browser window. Your clips are stored online with sharing and collaboration available.
|
| Slide 8 |
Online Forms For Free
Google Spreadsheets offer free forms.
You create the form, mail it to your people.
When they use the form the results are stored in a spreadsheet that you can access privately or share with a selected group or anyone.
|
| Slide 9 |
STOP!
You need to stop and examine those old assignments.
How long does it take with Google?
Are you asking students to do something that for them is trivial?
We can easily move to HOTS!
|
| Slide 10 |
Communication
|
| Slide 11 |
Use A BLOG to Communicate…
Students, and parents, expect to find information online that is up to date and easy to use.
|
| Slide 12 |
BTW:
Wisconsin’s “New Model Academic Standards” Social Studies was published in 1998.
Wisconsin’s “Instructional Technology Literacy Standards” Published in 1998.
Obviously developed before then 1998.
|
| Slide 13 |
Web Logs or Blogs Were Invented in 1999
|
| Slide 14 |
A blog (Web Log) – a website displayed in reverse chronological order. To Blog – a verb, meaning to add content to a blog. A Blogger – One who blogs
|
| Slide 15 |
From Blogger1…
In simple terms, a blog is a web site, where you write stuff on an ongoing basis. New stuff shows up at the top, so your visitors can read what's new. Then they comment on it or link to it or email you. Or not.
|
| Slide 16 |
From Blogger1…
Since Blogger was launched in 1999, blogs have reshaped the web, impacted politics, shaken up journalism, and enabled millions of people to have a voice and connect with others.
|
| Slide 17 |
Blog Growth Has Been Explosive
Started in 1998 as a single Web Log
At the beginning of 1999 there were 23 blogs1
As of August, 2006 - 50 Million Blogs and Counting.2
|
| Slide 21 |
Why?
|
| Slide 22 |
Blogs are immediate, intimate, public, informative and relevant. If they are not, we stop reading them.
My favorites: My own children’s Blogs and Jazz Guitar blogs.
|
| Slide 23 |
You read blogs you have an interest in and that have information you want.
NO OTHER REASON!
|
| Slide 24 |
WIKIS vs Blogs
|
| Slide 26 |
Put Another Way
BLOGS are kept by one person, and others may add comments. (Comments can be rejected or blocked by the owner)
WIKIS are websites which can be authored collaboratively by many people. The most commonly known example of this is Wikipedia
|
| Slide 27 |
With A Blog:
Post the reading list
Show students a rubric
Provide a list of resources
Show colleagues a draft article, course proposal or outline
Show the agenda for an upcoming department meeting
be officious, preach
With A WIKI
Collaborate on a reading list with students
Create a rubric with your student’s input
Work with colleagues on articles, course proposals and outlines
Create an agenda that allows all participants to add items.
Collaborate!
|
| Slide 28 |
I Like Blogs:
I need a place to put information for students that won’t change over time
I want to say: You can find that on my blog
Blogs are taggable and searchable
Blogs can be “used” without training.
|
| Slide 29 |
So How Should Teachers Take Advantage of WEB 2.0?
|
| Slide 30 |
Create a Free Blog
I suggest you use Blogger, www.blogger.com
Easy to set up. Get a gmail account gmail.google.com so you can use Google Docs too.
There are dozens of free blog sites that probably work just as well as blogger.
|
| Slide 31 |
First Get A Google Account
Gmail is free as are all the Google apps, but you need a unifying account and Gmail is perfect.
Free storage and smart kids coming up with new stuff all the time.
Worth the price… Wait… its free.

Do It Every Day!
A blog is a great start at Web 2.0 – it is the web page for the rest of us.
Do it right away, and tell the your students and their parents about it.
Keep it current so they will read it and know what is going on in your class.
|
| Slide 40 |
Blogs are designed for one to many communication. You create content, others read it and marvel at your brilliance. Readers may comment but the content is yours.
