1. Web 2.0 Tools for Project Based Learning Kim Peacock, B.Ed., M.Ed. University of Alberta NCTCA, 2009

2. My Personal Philosophy of PD… Inspiration Vs. Perspiration Get to know what you don’t know… Then get working!

3. What is Web 2.0?

4. 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 –Etc…

5. 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!

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. Miss. Peacock’s CTS Rules No homework ever. If you would like to set up your own account and work separately from your class work, you may, but that work will not be considered as part of your mark. You may never use your name in any work online. You may never use the words “Edmonton” or “Alberta” in any work online.

9. Miss. Peacock’s CTS Rules You may never use anyone else’s name (including teachers) in your work online. Leaving the web site where you are supposed to be working during class is not permitted. No online interaction with anyone outside of this class is permitted on an project we are working on as part of this class.

10. Logistics Consider room set up. Consider privacy settings. Consider parental permission. Consider school/district technology policy. Consider e-mail addresses and sign-up logistics.

11. A Note On Blocking Some Web 2.0 sites may be blocked at your school. Submit a written request to your technology department. Provide a rational, pedagogical justification for the site to be unblocked at your school during a certain period of time. Describe how you will keep students safe

12. Basic Skills Right click to: –Copy image –Save image –Copy shortcut Find code to cut and paste from within various programs.
