Educational Technology and Web 2.0

Over the past couple of weeks, I have had the opportunity to really look at some of the Web 2.0 products and how they might be used in the educational setting. I think that I have a whole new respect for all the possibilities and doors it could open in collaboration and coordination between parents, teachers and students.

I believe that blogging can safely be done in the school setting when students are given instruction on internet safety and know that they are accountable for what they post in a blog. Students may find it easier to respond to someones writing through an electronic method such as blogging. It makes it easier for more people to respond so feedback may be more helpful.

Technology in the Classroom

I would like to use this blog to share websites and training that I find available with the staff at my school and others that may find it helpful. I will begin by sharing some of the Interactive Whiteboard lessons that teachers have shared. I will also ask teachers who have participated in the Palm Handheld workshops to share how they think they might use the Palm Handhelds in the classrooms.
