Web 2.0 in our Classrooms

Hi everyone!
thank you so much to the beautiful Syarifa Abd Khalib who took up my challenge and created this blog.

Syarifa is the creator and owner of this blog and will be able to maintain it, promote it and invite fellow teachers to help build the blog when you return to Malaysia. Of course, I will also be there to answer your questions and suggest new ideas as I learn of them!

This is your chance to work together as a creative community to share and build a really amazing body of knowledge for you all to share -even though you will be separated by great distance when you all begin your exciting careers as teachers.

This weeks lecture is on web 2.0 in the classrooms and you will all have the opportunity to explore and play with some of the great tools available. I will show you a few of my favourites to get you started ... but then it is your turn to choose web 2.0 applications from my list or find ideas have never heard of - explore their capabilities and then write a short review of some of their educational uses along with a couple of screen captures.

It will be a great night where we all share the research and then also have this blog as a permanent record of our shared learnings.I chose Google as the blogsite because I believe it will be with us for many years to come.
Our Digital Media For Teachers Research Blog will be something really inspiring to share with all your colleagues in Malaysia.
Just to get us started I will upload all the fabulous projects you have completed in our workshops for you to enjoy!
Please comment on each other's work ...as we all appreciate words of praise and encouragement as well as suggestions to add something extra or special to our work!

Look forward to seeing you all tomorrow night!

cheers Paula
