2. A Quick Poll… Are you willing to shift your thinking about some technology tools in your classrooms? http://www.polleverywhere.com/multiple_choice_pol ls/LTExOTk0NTIxNzA http://www.polleverywhere.com/multiple_choice_pol ls/LTExOTk0NTIxNzA

3. My Personal Philosophy of PD… Inspiration Vs. Perspiration

4. Part 1 – What Is Web 2.0?

5. Web 2.0 Is Here… You are probably already using Web 2.0 tools in your day-to-day online life: Facebook Blogs Wikipedia Flickr/Picassa/etc…

6. What Are Web Applications? Allow you to perform tasks or create objects without software. Often known as “Web 2.0” applications. Often have an element of social interaction. Accessible from anywhere. Usually FREE!

7. The Web 2.0 Lexicon RSS feeds Tags Folksonomy Mash-Ups Widgets AJAX

8. Risks Applications go up and down. Applications get bought out. Web applications sometimes allow students to interact with other people online. Most tools have privacy settings to keep minors safe. Students’ privacy should be considered. Some tools can be completely private, but others not.

9. Risks Applications may create thing that can’t leave the confines of the particular web site (e.g./ can’t be downloaded to a disc/dvd/etc…) Students with computers at home may get to spend more time on projects than students without since it’s easily accessible.

10. A Note On Blocking Some Web 2.0 sites may be blocked at your school… you can sometimes get around this. Submit a request to your technology department. Provide a pedagogical justification for the site to be unblocked at your school during a certain period of time. Describe how you will keep students safe.
