Editor's Notes

  • #2 No handouts but you can see the presentation at SlideShare.net by searching on “Web 20 Workshop”
  • #8 In Melanie Popa’s Biology lab, groups of students use wiki to create lab reports.In one of the study abroad program, students are collaborating on a wiki to assess the government, including the challenges, opposing parties, political events, and a comparison to the United States.
  • #9 Looking along the left side of the screen and across the top, you can see that this professor is using the wiki almost like a course management system like Blackboard. It looks like he has been fine tuning it for some time. On his front page, the three boxes near the top of the screen are small Web-based applications called widgets which you can embed into a wiki or blog or other Web site. There are widgets that bring you news feeds, sports scores, weather reports. Of the 3 on this wiki, the one on the left is a news feed, the one in the middle allows students to post discussion remarks, and the one on the right takes you to some selected YouTube videos.One thing that is different about this example from the way you might want to use a wiki is that most of the content in this wiki was posted by the instructor as opposed to it being a student collaboration.
  • #10 These applications differ from wikis in that they are not for creating a collection of related pages. Rather, they are for creating, editing, and producing a final document.What you can do with an online word processor:Have students work in groups to write a paper together
  • #11 Lorna – 1. What do you think of showing this video about Google Docs?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRqUE6IHTEA2. Is there a limit to file size?
  • #12 Example of handout created for this workshop in Google Docs
  • #14 Reflective journaling can be a powerful learning activity for students to synthesize experiential learning with the conceptual and theoretical learning they do in the classroom. Another thing you can do with a blog is have students research topics and publish their summaries to a blog. Once published, comments can be added by other students and even professionals in the field.
  • #15 Kip Currier is a professor in Pitt’s Library Science program. He maintains this blog in conjunction with his teaching and research into copyright issues. It allows him to post and link to material that covers current issues in copyright. For example, when I checked it the other day, he had posted an article about the recently released iPad, Apple’s e-reader. Compared to a wiki, a blog is a more linear organization structure with the most current information always on top.
  • #16 Lorna starts here.
  • #17 Twittering offers some of the same benefits as blogging but less complex, takes less timeWhat you can do with Twitter: It’s great for language learning because the posting length limitations give students lots of opportunities for short postings (Scinicariello, 2008). An idea from a writing class is to have one student begin a story, another continue, and so on. (Parry, 2009)
  • #18 This is a picture of my inbox on Outlook mail. That’s where I receive tweets but you can also have them sent to your cell phone.
  • #20 What you can do with bookmarking: have students contribute and tag Web resources that contribute to a class project.
  • #22 Mention tumblr here
  • #23 Here’s a picture of the page at SlideShare to which I’ve uploaded this presentation. This is also an example of Jing which I used to capture an image of the page.Podcast example: Karen Courtney podcast from an Continuing Ed course for nurse educators on Health InformaticsYouTube example: Barbara’s intro video?Image example: You can use a site like Flickr to share images among your students. You can also access a site like HEAL, a repository for health sciences images at http://www.healcentral.org/index.jsp. You can use the images in your teaching and you can also submit images.
  • #24 You can use Google Calendar to post course activities, deadlines, due dates. Use Doodle to schedule meetings. Suggestion from 02/24/10 session: when2meet.com
  • #25 Google Calendar functions just like the Outlook Calendar that most of us use. Calendars can be public or private. You can share your calendar with students.Students in the FastTrack program create separate calendars for each course, then blend them into one shared calendar.You can use Doodle to coordinate calendars among multiple people.
  • #26 Use these to hold synchronous meetings.
  • #28 Call attention to:There is a whiteboard for sharing docs and demoing your desktopThere is a space for chatWhen you create a conference space, you can email invitationsYou can record the conference
