This tutorial is based upon the California School Library Association (CSLA) 2.0 Team's program by the same name. In this tutorial, you will learn some of the tools of the Internet that everyone is using at work and in the classroom.
Web 2.0 tools are bringing our students in touch with the entire world through social networking, wikis, video, podcasting, and gaming sites. The CML encourages you to take time to explore some of these resources and enjoy the opportunity to investigate them yourself. As you begin to work with these programs, think about how they might be incorporated into your curriculum or lesson plans.
Overview:
There are 23 "Things" for you to complete. There are many places for you to explore, experiment with, and think about creative ways to use this in your library or classroom. The program will begin during the week of May 18th and finish during the last week in August. You may work at your own pace but be sure to see what others are doing! Collaborating, social networking, and sharing of ideas is what 2.0 is all about! We hope you'll join us!
Tutorial Format:
Each week beginning May 18, 2009, you will be given a brief explanation of a new web 2.0 topic, followed by Discovery Exercises. These exercises give you the background you need to understand the tools you're learning about. After the Discovery Exercises, you'll find a Thing -- an activity -- to complete. Then you comment or "post" to your online log (Blog.)
You will learn how to set up a blog. (A blog is a tool to communicate your thoughts, new found skills, ideas, questions, and favorite websites.) You'll receive feedback and encouragement from the CML Learning 2.0 Team and other participants.
If you're interested in participating, please send us your email address and we'll put you on our list of participants. When the program begins, you'll receive an email letting you know where to locate the first Discovery Exercise and what to do in order to learn more about these programs.
