This webinar by Karl Kapp introduced the use of web 2.0 technologies as tools for collaborative teaching and learning, within and outside the classroom. Using his own blog , his class wiki and podcasts on YouTube created by his students, as examples, he showed (among others):
- how students (future professionals) learn by interacting with alumni;
- how students’ learning community extends beyond the class to include other teachers, students and readers of class blog/wiki;
- how class learnings (activities and discussions) can be shared to future students
Here is the webinar description posted at MATEC Networks:
Description: New learning tools are introduced on an almost daily basis. Educators have all they can do to keep up with the latest technology in their field, let alone figure out how to incorporate podcasting, blogs, and wikis into their instructional curriculum. Transferring Knowledge to the New Style of Learning helps address that problem. The presentation describes how Web 2.0 technologies can and are being used in classrooms to provide educators with tools for extending the classroom beyond the school building. Learn how you can leverage these newest technologies to provide your students with rich learning opportunities they can do from the comfort of their own homes.
