This is a slideshow of 4 of my favorite Web 2.0 resources: Today's Meet, MindMeister, Prezi, Poll Everywhere, and Sumo Paint. For each tool, I explain what it is, why it's so great to use with students in the classroom, how to use it, and helpful tips and techniques.

1. “7 easy web 2.0 tools”(45 minute presentation)Intended Audience: FBLA Advisers Pete Dulany, CIW East Leyden High School Notes from today’s session available at DulanyConsulting.com/FBLA
2. Let’s start with an IMPORTANTquestion A site that is considered “Web 2.0” is a website that… Requires the Adobe Flash player Is based on user-created content Built upon national core standards Runs on Internet 2, the faster infrastructure to support rich content
3. Tool #1: GoAnimate Great digital storytelling tool Free teacher accounts with student logins Enjoy this sample GoAnimateVideo I made in 2 hours called “Web 2.0 Homework Excuses”. Also watch one I made in 30 minutes for “Friends Don’t Let Friends…”
4. PROs / CONs Pros: Digital storytelling increases student understanding Students are actively writing Students are engaged and excited to learn Basic accounts are free Cons: Can be sluggish over a slow Internet connection Learning curve: one to two class periods
5. Tool #2: Prezi An alternative to tedious PowerPoint presentations All freshmen at Leyden HS Dist 212 learn this Embeds videos right from YouTube – no need to download and convert Web Accessible – no need to move PPTs with flash drives or student login accounts. Enjoy this sample Prezi: All about FBLA
6. PROs / CONs Pros: Students are forced to think in text blurbs Simple, easy to read colors Instant YouTube embedding Easy to create and edit Prezis Basic accounts are free Cons: No text animations, just zooming / positioning All prezis are public
7. Tool #3: WallWisher A great way for students to do things like: Post questions about a topic Post difficulties with an assignment A great way for faculty to do things like: Ideas for student of the month Post recruiting ideas Post who’s bringing what for a potluck lunch Check out the sample Wall!
8. Quick Poll What’s the biggest problem with WallWisher? Students have to sign up for a user account The wall owner has to approve every post Keeping the posts “unique” Abusive language and CyberBullying
9. PROs / CONs Pros: No signup – just visit and post You can “approve” posts or not Fast and instant thoughts Easy to create and set up. It’s free! Cons: Unique posts / students Requires moderation if anyone can post
10. Tool #4: Weebly Creates instant websites for clubs, organizations, teacher webpages. Includes a free dropbox that gets sent to your e-mail account. No expensive Dreamweaver license. No HTML coding required. No FTP. No fees. EVERY teacher can have a webpage. Demo – www.mrdulany.com
11. Tool #5: Vuvox An excellent timeline creation tool. Also useful for showing order. Helpful for creating interactive timelines Showcase: History of the Internet (History), Moore’s Law (Math), Cell Mitosis (Science), Summarizing a story (English), even nonlinear projects like word definitions and a picture to help remember. Incorporates reading and writing Demo : When I present...
12. Tool #6: scribblemaps Google Maps are great – but sometimes, you just need to scribble on them. Useful for parking directions Good for GPS devices on a “treasure hunt” – where you’ve been, or where you will go (Wireless War Walking) Demo – ScribbleMaps.com Actual assignment - Trail of Tears
13. Tool #7: Wordle This one isn’t “NEW” or fresh – but, I like it. Gives “big ideas” and vocabulary. Wordle.net
14. But, remember… Use these tools at the beginning of lesson planning, not as an add-on extra. USE THESE TOOLS TODAY. TRY ONE. Seriously. Try JUST ONE today.
15. And now this… The presentation that you’ve seen today – and many more like it – can be brought to your school district. I train teachers in all things technology-related! If you need help building (or re-building) a curriculum, particularly an online curriculum, I can help with that too.
