    Very interesting ppt. The research indicated PPT only contains 30% of information; therefore the 70% valuable information comes from the presenter himself/herself. soEZLecturing.com provides you a chance to record your voice with your PowerPoint presentation and upload to the website. It can share with more readers and also promote your presentation more effectively on soEZLecturing.com.

    Never mind. It seems as if the district just started blocking slideshare presentations.

    Any reason why this was removed? I have been using this with my students and would love to keep using it.

Notes on slide 1

Welcome everyone. My name is Cindy Wright, and I am an Instructional Technology Specialist with Columbus City Schools, in Columbus, Ohio. I’d like to share with you today some information regarding the newest Web 2.0 technologies and how they can have a positive impact in the classroom. My hope is that this presentation will encourage you to try at least one of the technologies I introduce. The presentation will be saved, and you will have access to it and my speaker notes after the session. So if I go too fast and you miss something on a screen, just keep in mind you can always view it again later at your own leisurely pace.

Changing Education with Web 2.0 Tools - Presentation Transcript

    • Changing Education with Web 2.0 Tools
    By Cindy Wright Instructional Technology Specialist Columbus City Schools I believe that we cannot even begin to imagine the changes that are going to take place as the two-way nature of the Internet begins to flower, and that even those of us who have spent time imagining this future will be astounded by what happens. ~ Steve Hargadon Photocredit :http://leadinganswers.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/2007/03/15/monarch_stages.jpg
  1. Engaging today’s students means tapping into what is important to them.
  2. We have a responsibility to prepare them for their future, not our past.
  3. Technology allows learners get their information
      • When they want it
      • How they want it
      • Wherever they want it
  4. Today’s students are Digital Natives ( Marc Prensky )
    • Visual learners
    • Multi-taskers
    • Short attention spans
    • Use technology to express themselves
    • Information analysts
    • Content producers
    • Real-time learners - instant messages, text messages
  5. How students live with technology Different kinds of experiences lead to different brain structures. Dr. Bruce D. Perry, Baylor College of Medicine
    • Educators must get over the idea that technology will replace them. Any teacher that can be replaced by a computer absolutely deserves to be, because they just do not get it.
    • Ian Jukes
  6. When I Become A Teacher
  7. Technology is changing
    • Impossible to keep up with it
    • Skills learned today will be irrelevant in the near future
    • Focus less on the technology skill
    • Focus more on the 21 st century skill
  8. Why Change? You change because you understand learning is dynamic and that to not change means to quit growing. ~ Sheryl Nussbaum-Beach http://21stcenturylearning.typepad.com/blog/ Photo credit :http://leadinganswers.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/2007/03/15/monarch_stages.jpg
  9. 21 st Century Skills
    • Communication
    • Innovation
    • Creativity
    • Problem-Solving
    • Interactive
    • Collaboration
    • Critical Thinking
  10. Applied skills refer to those skills that enable new entrants to use the basic knowledge acquired in school to perform in the workplace.
  11. What Employers Want:
    • Professionalism/Work Ethic
    • Oral and Written Communications
    • Teamwork/Collaboration
    • Critical Thinking/Problem Solving
  12. • Professionalism/Work Ethic , Teamwork/Collaboration and Oral Communications are rated as the three “most important” applied skills needed by entrants into today’s workforce. • Knowledge of Foreign Languages will “increase in importance” in the next five years, more than any other basic skill, according to over 60 percent (63.3 percent) of the employer respondents. • Making Appropriate Choices Concerning Health and Wellness is the No. 1 emerging content area for future graduates entering the U.S. workforce as reported by three-quarters of the employer respondents (76.1 percent). • Creativity/Innovation is projected to “increase in importance” for future workforce entrants, according to more than 70 percent (73.6 percent) of employer respondents. Currently, however, more than half of employer respondents (54.2 percent) report new workforce entrants with a high school diploma to be “deficient” in this skill set.
  13. Welcome to Web 2.0
  14. Web 2.0
    • Open source content and applications
    • Sites that get their value from their users
    • Blogs/Microblogs
    • Wikis
    • Social Networking/Bookmarking Sites
    • RSS Feeds
    • Podcasting
  15. Open Source Content and Applications
    • Anyone can be a publisher
    • All open source material is free
    • Relies on a community that encourages reusing materials
    • Tools for commentary/free expression-text, audio, video
    • Supports social networking
  16.  
  17. Impacting the Classroom With Web 2.0 Tools
  18. Create your own Personal Learning Network
    • How can web 2.0 tools help you become a better teacher?
    • How can you work smarter not harder?
    • How can you feel connected to teachers with similar issues, feelings, worries, struggles?
    • Get a Network!
  19. Not this type of network
  20. But a professional network
  21. Begin building your PLN
    • Join a professional social network. I belong to Classroom 2.0 (Ning) and the Discovery Educator’s Network (Discovery Education) (http://socialnetworksined.wikispaces.com/)
    • Find 3-5 Blogs (Google Blogs) you like and subscribe to them using RSS feeds or Google Reader
    • Join a microblogging network like Twitter or Plurk
    • Lurk for awhile
    • Participate-Become a part of the conversation
  22. Classroom 2.0 Ning   http://www.classroom20.com/ A great place for building contacts with other educators who are interested in using Web 2.0 tools.  A weekly live show on Saturdays gives members a chance to communicate and learn together. ISTE Ning   http://www.iste-community.org   A new Ning created by ISTE to promote communication among ISTE members. Special Interest Groups for Tech Coordinators, 1:1 and more give an opportunity for focused conversations. 1. Join a Social Network
  23. 2. Find 3-5 Blogs to follow
    • Really simple syndication, a way of aggregating web content in one place. Users subscribe to sites with RSS feeds and the aggregators collects new content and sends it to your desktop. So the content of 30 sites is visible in one place.
    • Aggregators
      • Bloglines.com
      • Netvibes.com
    Subscribe to Blogs using RSS
  24. www.bloglines.com
    • Instead of checking out all 25 student Weblogs every day, you could just collect their work in your aggregator using their RSS feeds.
    • Microblogging tool
    • 140 characters or less
    • Use it to see what others are doing
    • Use it to ask questions and get ideas
