This session is geared to the K to 3+ educator

Web2.0 has evolved for educators and classroom use over the last year so lets take a closer look and use these tools in and out of the classroom with students and staff. In this session, we will consider examples of easy to implement Web 2.0 technologies, hear about your experiences using Web 2.0 technologies in educational contexts, and provide the opportunity to try these tools in a classroom setting or in your planning. Participants may wish to to bring their own "couldn't do without" web 2.0 tools to share. We will seek out the areas that are safe for learning and collaborating. We will cover useful Web 2.0 tools with a strong emphasis on on the creative processes and co-learning You will walk away from this session with practical stuff that I know will work with your students. Of course, i know there will be a other new tools introduced as well. as the session progresses over the week.
