This document provides an overview of a 9-day professional development course for educators on introducing Web 2.0 tools to the classroom. It describes the course syllabus which outlines objectives, readings, and requirements, as well as a daily schedule. Assignments include tasks such as creating a screencast discussing an article and participating in discussion forums. A links section at the end provides additional resources for students.

1. An Introduction to
Web 2.0 for the
Classroom

2. This is the main page of the
Blackboard site. On the left
hand column you will see a
navigation bar that will take you
to various parts of the program.

3. This is the first part of the syllabus. It lists
the course description, intended audience,
course rationale, goals, and objectives.

4. The second part of the syllabus lists the
objectives, required readings, helpful links,
and academic course requirements.

5. The course schedule was designed to be a 9-day
summer professional development course that
educators could take. A brief day-to-day
schedule is shown in the picture.

6. This is the initial list of the
assignments that would be required
during the course. The next slide will
go into detail about of the tasks.

7. Here you see task 4. During this task the
student would be required to read an article and
create a screencast discussing key points of the
article. Examples of screencast tools were
listed for the students however, they were not
required to use those specific ones.

8. Every Blackboard site needs a discussion
board. Our discussion board had a forum for
questions, comments, and concerns as well as
two forums that were part of specific
assignments.

9. Our final section of our site was a “links”
section which consisted of useful links that
the students could use for more information.
