This document discusses strategies for using technology tools to enhance teaching and learning. It addresses the needs of today's students and the importance of preparing them for careers that value skills like creativity, communication and emotional intelligence. A variety of web 2.0 tools are presented, including wikis, blogs, podcasts, digital storytelling apps and more. Teachers are encouraged to select one tool to start with and to share student work and ideas with colleagues. The goal is to inspire educators without overwhelming them as they integrate new technologies.
