Tech ‘n Time

If you haven’t checked out the sessions at the K12 Online Conference, you’re missing out on some great presentations on Web 2.0. Many of them gave me ideas to use in my pre-conference session on Web 2.0 that was held in Greensboro, NC the week after Thanksgiving. There are many, many great uses for Web 2.0 tools for educators and most of these tools are free. The tools I used with my participants included: blogs, wikis, google docs, Skype, Yugma, social bookmarking sites and others. I used a wiki to conduct my training and a blog for participant reflection. I created a spreadsheet on google docs that participants edited and I had a couple of educators to skype in during the session to share ways they use these same tools in their schools and districts. The participant feedback was great! I had 15 participants to attend the morning session and 13 for the afternoon session. Many were excited to get the hands on experience with these tools. For many of them it was their first experience. My goal was that they find at least one to integrate into their classroom.
