Using Web 2.0 Tools in the Classroom

Welcome!  I am so excited to be presenting this topic at FETC 2008. I have been preparing a fun session for us. I can’t wait to share all the cool Web 2.0 stuff I have found for you to use with your students.
For those of you who signed up for this workshop a LONG time ago, I have included a session description below.
This session will introduce Web 2.0 tools to educators so that they can explore the interactive web using technologies such as blogs, wikis, RSS feeds, podcasting, and social bookmarking. Participants will create a personal learning environment by using and/or subscribing to these tools during the hands-on session. In addition, the participants will explore Google Tools for Educators and other Web 2.0 tools for classroom use.
Also, in order to make the most of our time together on Thursday, January 24, from 4 pm until 7 pm, I need you to do few things in advance.
1.   Get a Google Account if you don’t have one.   You can sign up at https://www.google.com/accounts/ManageAccount .  Please get an account and activate it prior to our workshop. 
2.   Get a Wikispaces account if you don’t have one.   Go here http://www.wikispaces.com/site/for/teachers100K to get one.
3.   Get an Edublogs account if you don’t have one.   Go to this site http://edublogs.org/ to get your own blog.   This video will help you set up your account http://www.teachertube.com/view_video.php?viewkey=5dd536c185e19a804a73
4.   Finally make a note of your login and password for these accounts and bring them with you.
I am looking forward to meeting each of you and sharing Web 2.0 tools for you to use in your classroom.  
Please email me if you have trouble getting any of these accounts.  I will try to help walk you through it. Or email me to introduce yourself and let me know that you got this communication.
See you soon!
