This presentation was tremendously helpful. Wendy Drexler not only reviewed some of the Web 2.0 tools available, but more importantly shared the Wiki where they are stored and shared her thoughts about getting people started using the tools. Her presentation outline included:
Assumptions
Why Teacher 2.0?
Tour of Teach Web 2.0 Wiki
How to Join and Contribute
How to Start Your Own Revolution
A part of each post on the Wiki includes a SWOT Analysis of the tool.
SWOT Analysis of Tool
Strengths
Weaknesses
Opportunities
Threats
As I think about applying her presentation to the Prosperity staff, I can't help but think how fortunate we are to have had some many team members already participate in Tech Cadre. Wow! What a tremendous benefit that is for our team and most importantly our students.
The Wiki was by far my most powerful learning from this presentation because I now know where I can go to learn more and explore about the 2.0 tools, but these steps to teacher integration shared during the presentation are also beneficial.
Steps Toward Teacher Integration
1. Awareness
2. Experimentation
3. Collborate with colleagues
4. Initiate unique projects, lessons, activities
As I think about this, I quite simply need to provide more opportunity for us to share with one another the things we are trying in our classrooms on a daily basis. I know that many of these tools are being used, we just need to develop the platform so our learning can be shared.
