Web 2.o Blah Blah Blah
Web 2.0 was intended to bring sharing and collaboration to an otherwise static web.
Back in my day, people could only view information but not contribute or share their own work unless they were nerdy geeks.
What can I do with Web 2.0 Tools?
– Share Presentations – Share Documents– Share Expertise– Share News and Bookmarks– Share Media– Shared Website– Wow Tools
How should I think about using Web 2.0?
These tools are complementary to what you may be using in class or in e-learning.
– These tools can work with Blackboard.– These tools work alongside Blackboard.– These tools are independent of Blackboard.
These tools provide external experience for learning outside the classroom environment.

Where do I begin?
1. Take an existing assignment or class activity and think of how you can enhance collaboration through Web 2.0 tools.
2. Take a semester to learn how to use the technology before you use it in the classroom.
3. Create assessment strategies to tie learning objectives to rubric .
4. Be careful to not get overwhelmed, outline what you want to accomplish.
