This document provides an agenda for a technology training day focusing on online tools and resources. It discusses the evolution of the web from Web 1.0 to Web 2.0 and provides examples of each. It notes that while students are technology-infused outside of school, traditional classrooms lag behind. The training explores how students now have resources at their fingertips through technologies not yet invented, and discusses asking students to research rather than recall information. Examples are given of student and professional wikis that could be used for collaboration.

Editor's Notes
- Wolfram|Alpha's long-term goal is to make all systematic knowledge immediately computable and accessible to everyone. We aim to collect and curate all objective data; implement every known model, method, and algorithm; and make it possible to compute whatever can be computed about anything. Our goal is to build on the achievements of science and other systematizations of knowledge to provide a single source that can be relied on by everyone for definitive answers to factual queries. Search examples: Seattle to Paris, sin^3(x), -1/2 - (-3), 8/6/08 etc.
- This may be the first large technological shift in history that’s being driven by children. (Engaging the Whole Child, ASCD. Pg 236)
- What answer do you have? How did you get it? What do kids HAVE to know, what information do they just have to have the SKILL for researching to find out, what do they have to be able to evaluate?

- How do we leverage social network connections? Can we encourage use of the available technology?
- Kids have the technology and are comfortable with it in a social environment. How do we help teachers encourage students to use the technology for learning?
- The Ed Tech Support Center Program and OSPI are currently negotiating a free statewide K12 license for Google’s Sketchup Pro, 3-D modeling program. More info will be available near the beginning of the school year.
- Today is about stretching our brains - we won’t use everything we discuss today in our classrooms immeditaly, however we will expand our knowledge of tools and resources available for learning - and assuming we don’t snap the rubber band we will leave with new ideas and insights for how we might use technology in our classrooms.
