Web 2.0 Tools for Effective Teaching

There are a lot of different ideas for teaching & learning with web 2.0.  I have been fortunate to share with the Web 2.0 Tools for Effective Learning group on SlideShare.  I would like to extend thanks to Elaine Talbert (etalbert) for archiving and collecting presentations & information about what educators are doing with web 2.0.  I think this is a valuable resource for those of you interested in engaging with online learning & development at your institutions.  Check it out!

etalbert is “Keen researcher of technology and education. Fascinated by the potential of web 2.0 applications to transform learning.” And I happened to stumble upon Steven Downes’ post about Elaine’s contributions on SlideShare today, which made me think of the community of collaboration there is for education.  Keep connecting & learning from those around you and online.

Photo Sharing… Say Cheese!

NACADA Tech was a great seminar for sharing & swapping ideas for photo sharing. I have learned:

• Geo-Everything (tagging) is on it’s way in
• Cool ideas for event photo sharing
• Clouds – data collection
• Experiential learning with online tools
• Web communication plans with students
• What others are thinking about for their campus
• Challenges to online university/college advisin
• What’s on the horizon in technology & how we’ll plan for it
