2. Some things that we’ve learned
Implementation of Web 2.0 materials into our classroom environments:
Blogs
Wikis
Google Documents
Google Calendar
Google Reader

3. Why Web 2.0?
I recognize that most of my job is preparing students for the work force
It is better to create than to consume
Greater student involvement in class while engaging them in technologies they like
Web 2.0 is a great way to incorporate higher-order questions and thinking skills

4. How can Web 2.0 be used Blogs to make class announcements
Google docs for professional collaboration
Google Calendar for organization
Google Reader to keep up with innovations and new ways to teach old materials.

5. Group Fears
How we teach now “works”. What happens if this doesn’t work?
Miscellaneous activities already take up our time
What if our students don’t like it?
Will we have the courage to continue to try if the first few times don’t work?

6. How do we accomplish this?
