What is Web 2.0? Why is it different from Web version 1? What are the underlying principals of blogs, wikis, and podcasts that bind them into a new kind of information environment, where people connect through their content within dynamic and adaptive networks for learning? This presentation, designed for tech-savvy educators, will introduce the basics of Web 2.0 technologies, a sampling of its tools, and its relevance to learning environments. Participants will explore together some potent opportunities for implementing these new tools for teacher staff development, digital resource production, and school management.
