Web 2.0 services are generating what is truly a personal learning renaissance.Here's a comment from teacher Elizabeth Davis at Classroom 2.0:"Following and reading blogs, participating in ning, contributing to wikis, writing in my blog, I haven't thought this much in years. It truly is an amazing phenomenon. I feel so intellectually alive. I'm inspired and challenged constantly. The blogs I read lead me to question and explore new tools and Websites. I haven't written this much since I was in school. It is all so exciting and energizing. For me, classroom 2.0 could just be about my own growth and learning and that would be enough."A good example of a free Web 2.0 service is Wikispaces. Here's a class wiki made with the service - A Broken World, the World War I wiki of a Grade 9 class. Their teacher comments:You are now "textbook writers." Your goal is to make a better, more interesting textbook than that overweight, boring, 20th Century history textbook you're now using. And to do work of such high quality that you can include it on your resume as another example of your academic skills in your "digital portfolio."Here are some other School 2.0 online services:* Diigo- for "social bookmarking" of Web sources.* Blogger - to create a class weblog.* Ning - to build your own social network]
Go Jobio on 28 Nov 14The Job Search is hard enough as it is. Don't make it harder on yourself. You are NOT saving time by using the same resume for every job you apply to. Each resume should correspond with each position you are applying for. Some positions might require different skills than others. Match the skills you have with the skills each job requires. Know each company you are applying for as well. Make sure each resume corresponds with the company that will be receiving the resume. OR ditch the paper resume and create a video resume!SHOW your interpersonal skills, tech ability, and winning personality instead of writing it on a resume and hoping employers believe you.
