Welcome to

"Who's in Your Circle?

Collaboration in the 21st Century"!

"Taking Web 2.0 to School"

This wiki is intended to offer you a place to explore Web 2.0 tools and other emerging technologies. Throughout, I hope to 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.

Here you can explore various Web 2.0 tools such as wikis, blogs, google docs, social bookmarking, skype, voicethread and other emerging technologies. My goal for you is to leave 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. Please email me if you have a question, comment, idea or resource you'd like to see added. Click the link to the right asking to join this workspace if you'd like to contribute ideas and/or resources.

***************************************************

So, how do I become a 21st century teacher using these 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)
Re-evaluate the tool for its effectiveness in student learning of content objectives.
