From My Classroom to Yours – Web 2.0 Tools and the Standards




I will be presenting at ETTC’s From My Classroom to Yours Conference. My presentation will be about using Web 2.0 tools in the elementary and middle school classroom. I will show how our district has begun to utilize these tools. We are starting out slowly and carefully being cognizant of Internet safety and legality issues. We will be looking at sites like Voicethread, Animoto, Edublogs, and programs like PhotoStory, Audacity and Google Earth.

The following is a link to my presentation: http://www.gtps.k12.nj.us/technology/Web2.0&Standards/Web2.0&Standards_files/frame.htm

 Please feel free to comment and share ways you are using Web 2.0 tools to engage learners.

    Hi!

    I wanted to add another math use of Voicethread which takes advantage of the commenting feature of the application. The link is to a Voicethread set up by one of my colleagues and what they do is have students create threads with math problems and then challenge other students to solve them. This is one example (skip by the first two slides to get to the comments), or search GESD on Voicethread for more. Best of luck with your presentation!
