=Welcome to Web 2.0 Tools.=

== I attended a workshop at the Taft Educational Center on Web 2.0 tools for teachers and librarians this summer. Joel Backon, Director of Academic Technology, Choate Rosemary Hall // led an exciting workshop on Web 2.0 technology. // ==



=="**//Imagine a world in which people learn and research better when they collaborate with others.//**==

===What are the tools that permit a teacher to collaborate with the librarian when time constraints are critical? What are the tools that permit students to collaborate with their peers while meeting our expectations for academic integrity? With little or no prior experience, you will learn to use a set of research and learning tools that will enhance the learning and experience of your students and colleagues. You will be introduced to tools (many are free) including: wikis and blogs in the classroom, note-taking and collaborative document tools, a variety of search engines that permit sharing and saving searches, tools for collaborative storytelling and online instruction, and wonderful research tools. The framework we will utilize maintains a focus on student learning, and how Web 2.0 tools can augment that learning, rather than simply incorporating these applications as enjoyable exercises". -- Joel Backon===

===** While I have not mastered all of the tools and techniques, I believe that we as a school could successfully incorporated many Web 2.0 tools into the curriculum. This wiki will demonstrate just a few of the applications that I plan to build into the LMC curriculum. **=== ==**I invite you to look at the Educational Change Challenge video below. I found it while viewing one my RSS feeds from [|Free Technology for Teachers]. I think [|ISTE]is right on target.**== media type="youtube" key="UEHNhcdyMtc" height="385" width="480" =YouTube: Educational Change Challenge= [|**dcannell**]
