MODULE 10

How can Web 2.0 assist in improving learning outcomes for all students?

Information OVERLOAD for students? Perhaps! I have a solution, use DELICIOUS to bookmark the 50 tools to Tell A Story. The tools are broken up into the following categories: slide shows, timeline tools, mixer tools, comic/sketch tools, collage tools (glogster is in there!), map tools, audio tools, video tools, fickr tools & presentation tools. The website states the obvious..not to try to review or try every single tool, but simply to pick one which sounds interesting and try to do something with it. That is what we can ask of our students (and our teachers). The online realm is something that is highly appealing to the vast majority of students. We can tap in to our students' likes and experiences through the use of WEB 2.0 tools and help to generate and faciliate a genuine love of learning and willingness to participate.
