Responsibilities as a teacher
– Engaging Today's student
– We have to prepare them for their future not our
past.
– Today's students are digital natives
15. The Future
• Web 1.0 delivered the internet and connected large numbers of
people.
• Web 2.0 demonstrated the technology to assemble and manage
large global crowds with a common interest in social interaction
• Web 3.0 will apply online network concepts to industry, politics,
economic development, climate stability, poverty and democracy.
Web 3.0 online networks allow people to see through the
community or market and facilitate collective matching, learning
and consumption in hours (not months
• Web 4.0 achieves a critical mass of participation in online networks
that deliver global transparency, governance, distribution,
participation, collaboration in key industry, political, social and
other community endeavours
16. Our responsibilities to make the
connection
• Creating your own personnel learning network
• Select 2 – 3 blogs to follow, depending on
your interest.
• Discuss the current technical topics with the
class.
• Start a blog on your website or
blackboard, if you can.
19. Piclits
• PicLits is a great creative writing site that
provides attention-grabbing images and word
banks to use to write a caption for the picture or

Teach your phone new tricks

you have - for free. It also gives you:
• Use a single number that rings you anywhere.
• Get transcribed messages delivered to your inbox.
• Free calls & text messages to the U.S. & Canada.
• Super low rates everywhere else.
• Use one number to manage all your phones; your Google Voice number is tied to you, not to a
particular device or location.
• Voicemail like email: Save voicemail messages for as long as you'd like, star important ones, and
search through them
• Voicemail transcription: Voicemail messages will be automatically transcribed to text and sent to
you via email and/or SMS.
• Customize your callers' experience (custom voicemail greetings, decide which of your phones ring
based on who's calling, send some callers straight to voicemail, etc.)
• Define which phones ring, based on who's calling, and even ListenInTM on voicemail before
answering the call. We use smart technology to route your calls. So, if you're already on a Google
Voice call, we'll recognize it and use call waiting to reach you on the phone you're on.
• Works with mobile phones, desk phones, and work phones. There's nothing to download, upload,
or install, and you don't have to make or take calls using a computer.
