by Stephanie Sandler. Most teachers feel that their plate is full and that their isno room for anything new that will take them time to learn but this session was on using web 2.0 tools to enhance the teaching that is already taking place not adding anything new. These tools are geared towards meeting the needs of teachers and students right away. One example of this was having students use google docs to collaborate on a research paper in stead of using tradition methods.
Sandler states that if we just view technology as just a tool instead of a way of learning and working then tools such as powerpoint and smart boards can become nothing more than an expensive chalkboard or expensive overhead.
I gained a few things from the session and found that her wiki, Http://web2thatworks.com was a wealth of information. I particularly found the Technology Integration Matrix to be interesting. I also liked the list of web 2.0 tools on the left of the page. Check them out.
