Fill Your Teacher Toolbox With Web 2.0 Tools for Grades 4 - 7
(Sunday, March 22 - Friday, March 27, 2009)

Location:http://knowschools.ca
Facilitator: Verna Lynn Gorrill, Canada

There are a number of web 2.0 tools out there for you to use in and out of your classroom. This knowWEEK will look at practical Web 2.0 tools you can use at the intermediate grade levels.

Verna Lynn will introduce a number of tools herself, but she knows other tools will also be introduced as our discussions develop. So please be ready to share any Web 2.0 tools that you possibly "couldn't do without".

About Verna Lynn Gorrill:

Verna Lynn has taken a number of KnowWEEKs over the past year and has just recently got into the facilitator role. She is working towards her eTeach Certificate through Capilano University/knowplace Family of Sites partnership.

When Verna Lynn turned 30, she decided what she wanted to be "when I grow up". She headed back to university to get her teaching degree and has been teaching for 6 1/2 years. She currently teaches grades 5 & 6 in Bulyea, Saskatchewan. She is a "high school teacher" by trade but has taught almost all grades.

She enjoys reading, watching all sports, camping, listening to music and "surfing" (the net that is). She spends most of her spare time either doing things with her two boys or learning new things that she can do on the computer. Most of her friends consider her a 24/7 computer geek.
