This document provides links to two webquests created by the author. The first webquest used a wiki space for student collaboration where they could post various media. It incorporated tools like ReadWriteThink, podcasts, Storify, and a blog. Since collaborative sites could not be accessed, wiki collaboration pages were set up for group work. The second webquest also used wiki pages for group collaboration and included vodcasts and ReadWriteThink. Links were provided to technological tools to support ESL, French language, and hearing impaired students.

Conquering the Web 2.0 Roller Coaster
The document discusses the benefits and challenges of using Web 2.0 tools in education. It describes how these tools can promote collaborative and constructivist learning, as well as prepare students for the workplace. However, these tools also have downsides like a steep learning curve, unreliability, and changing interfaces. The document provides recommendations for effectively integrating these tools, such as choosing versatile ones, simplifying use, and collaborating with other educators.
Colson basic wiki and collaboration power point
This document provides an overview of wikis and their use for collaboration. It explains that a wiki is a website that allows users to add and edit content. Wikis were created in 1995 to organize information on websites. The document encourages using a wiki to share resources like documents, lesson plans, and communicate with comments. Teachers can create folders to share class materials and use the sidebar for quick access to websites and videos. A wiki allows sharing content from anywhere without clogging emails and makes it easy to present and edit materials.
Blogs and Wikis for Reflection and Collaboration
The document discusses blogs and wikis as tools for reflection and collaboration. It defines blogs as chronological collections of content that can include text, images, and media. Wikis allow easy creation and editing of interlinked web pages through a simplified markup or WYSIWYG editor. Key differences are that blogs have a single author while wikis support collaborative editing. Educational uses include reflection, collaboration on projects, and creating shared resources through wikis.
Some Web 2.0 Tools for the classroom
An outline of a presentation about web 2.0 tools for teachers and to use in the classroom.
On the course teachers will already have covered podcasting and blogging before this presentation.
Wiki
Wikis are websites that allow multiple users to add, edit, and delete content collaboratively. They automatically save previous versions of edited pages. Teachers can use wikis for language learning by setting up a collaborative writing project on a free wiki site, where students can contribute to building out pages on a shared topic. Wikis provide an incentive for students because their work may be viewed publicly, but teachers can also make wikis private with a password for editing.

Writing Online
This is a presentation I did for a local School in Hong Kong hoping to motivate hearing impared students to write online.
Open Teaching in a Digital Age
The document discusses the concept of openness in academia and education. It argues that education should be about the greater good and that the internet is changing how research and teaching are conducted. It provides examples of how open sharing of educational materials online can increase their reach and impact around the world. It also discusses open educational resources (OER) and different degrees of open licensing like Creative Commons that can be applied to educational works.

Asynchronous Learning Environments
The document summarizes a conference on asynchronous learning environments that will discuss how technology can be used to extend learning beyond the classroom. It defines synchronous learning as occurring in real-time via video conferences or chats, while asynchronous learning uses tools like blogs, wikis, and YouTube that allow engagement anytime from anywhere. The benefits of asynchronous learning include accessibility, opportunities for exploration and community building, additional support and differentiation, and interaction with others. District leaders are encouraged to model asynchronous practices by using webcasts, Google Docs, and blogs to engage teachers.
3 collaboration
This document provides instructions for using collaboration tools in Blackboard such as discussion boards, blogs, wikis, and groups. It outlines the steps to set up each tool, including how to create entries or links for things like blog posts, journal entries, wiki pages, and group spaces. The goal is to help instructors streamline collaboration by linking these tools directly in course content areas.
Blogs, Podcasts & Wiki's
This document discusses blogs, wikis, and podcasts and provides information on how to create and use them. It defines blogs as easily created and updated webpages for ongoing writing. Wikis allow users to collaboratively edit content on a website. Podcasts are digital audio files that can be created and shared, and require a microphone, recording/editing software, and hosting on a website. Examples of using these tools for a school library include podcasts for story times, research help, and archiving lectures. The document recommends free hosting sites for wikis and podcasting tutorials.
Wiki Presentation
A wiki is a collection of web pages that can be edited by users to allow for fast communication and sharing of information. Wikis are like discussion boards where people can become involved and communicate. Ward Cunningham invented the first wiki to allow for quick collaboration on the web. Wikipedia is the most well-known wiki - an online encyclopedia that allows collaborative editing by volunteers worldwide. Wikis allow for editable information to be shared quickly but also carry risks if unreliable information is added without oversight.
