Do you speak web 2.0?
The Internet allows us to be involved in and create all types of media that can not be accomplished in any other manner. That is one of the critical elements of Web 2. I could write a journal entry; but the availability of the Internet and the access to technology allows me to post a journal online for millions of readers to view (and respond to). I could add images and movies of my family to become a star on the Internet while never leaving my home! Rather than two people communicating back and forth – Web 2.0 allows many people to communicate with many others. We take for granted access to high speed Internet (that allows us to do all of those wonderful things) and we are not passive observers of information. Web 2.0 use of the Internet gives us the ability to manipulate the data that we find on the Internet. In all of this, there is a focus on PEOPLE!
Now that we know a little about the Web.20 - let’s all go and get connected!
- You can create a blog at http://blogspot.com
- If you like scarp booking you can create a glog at http://www.glogster.com/edu
- Or, if you want to share lessons with your students you can create a simple pod cast using http://gcast.com (it is really easy; you use a phone to create the podcast).
Try things out for fun so that you can visualize a way to use the tools for your class!
