      This site has a lot of really cool projects created by middle school students. You can tell that the librarian and/or other teachers are really incorporating technology into their classrooms across the entire school. These projects cover many different topics and tools.

    Awesome way to showcase East Middle School's Library in this case. But just think we can use Web 2.0 Tools like Animoto to create slideshows of students work and even a culmination of projects we will do in class. This would be a neat thing to create to show parents on back to school night!

      This is so interesting. I think that students need to learn technology to be sucessful in their lives because technology is only going to grow, so it would be niave to think that we don't need to teach technology in schools.
  • another aspect of a social learning network is the potential to build global awareness among students.

      I had no thought about the language barrier as a complication. It would be interesting to see what other socail networking tools have the ability to translate.
  • Consider what tools, when implemented together in a holistic and thoughtful manner, can encourage collaboration, spark creativity, teach 21st-century skills, and address the needs and challenges of different socioeconomic environments.
  • Consider the following questions

      These are five really crucial questions. I suspect too they are very different approaches to teaching than what has been typical in the past.
  • What should be encouraged is the next level of communication—collaboration.
  • what tools best fulfill the needs of each school and district’s environment
  • as many as 70% of the new jobs recently created in the U.S. are positions that require interactions between people and involve judgment, insight, and collaboration.

      Students need to be aware in a different way than before. Learning is no longer a passive activity. This new interactive stance fosters the skills of judgement, insight, and collaboration that employers are looking for.
  • create, invent, and showcase their work
  • the framework suggests three overarching student outcomes, including life and career skills; learning and innovation skills; and information, media, and technology skills. Ultimately, the Partnership is advocating for educators and students to consider the implication of skills beyond the basic subject areas that are critical to success in the 21st century.

      It makes me happy to see that it is obvious to people that producing a literate student involves more than teaching him or her the core subjects. Learning how to learn, meta-learning (has anyone coined that one yet?) is THE indispensable skill of the 21st century it seems. If I take nothing from this class, it will be that.
  • free, online email service for K–12

      This is a cool site. Worth looking into. Connects educators who want to collaborate on classroom projects, great and interesting forums, and email accounts for kids to use for school.

      What a great idea! Very cool.
  • preparing them for working in a global marketplace
  • Educators can choose to utilize Web 2.0 tools
  • narrowing down which combination of tools would be best with the curriculum and pedagogy for the class
    • Kate Castle

      Each class will be unique in its abilities and needs and having knowledge of a wide varitety of tools makes teachers able to customize web tools to best serve their classrooms.

  • National School Boards' Assocation says that Social Networking technologies should be adapted for use in the classroom.

      These facts are very interesting and I had no idea that this was the case! These statistics prove that we, as teaching professionals, cannot ignore the impact that social networking has on the kids that we will be teaching. They are going to be using these tools and using them a lot, so we should reach them on their level.

      I'm surprised by the fact of 50% of students talk online about hw. Honestly, I thought it would be less than that.
  • Facebook - a social utility that connects people with friends and others who work, study and live around them.

      Everyone knows my love of Facebook by now. I really think Facebook can be used in so many ways: groups, posting school work as statuses, posting links to websites and articles that can be used and shared, etc.

      Facebook is such a widely used social networking tool, I think you would be very hard-pressed to find someone who does not know how to use it. Kids can be steered in the direction of using it for educational and introspection purposes which they probably didn't consider. I love the idea of creating a page for a book character.

      Andrew, I like Facebook too. And I think that students and adults alike figure out how to use it with ease. I just worry about the over exposure for younger students, for instance the advertisements and so on.

      I think there is a ton of potential for Facebook to be used in the classroom but like Daphne said, could it lead to overexposure or to unwanted sites/people/ideas that are out there? Maybe somehow setting up very private settings would work best for teacher-student collaboration.

      Hard to include Club Penguin as a social networking site. My daughters used it when they were little and were more interested in the game than the limited networking aspect.

    Wiki based on statistics and information supporting use of social networking, and internet use in education. Although a little dated (2006) it's clear to see how things have progressed as expected through today. "Did you know 2.0" is a video worth the time.

  • We need to prepare our students for the 21st century jobs that require global awareness, communication, teamwork, collaboration, critical thinking, problem solving, and data mining.

      I think that this is so important! I was never taught how to use a lot of technology in schools I had to teach myself and I think sometimes we forget how important technology is in the workplace!
  • Students are able to not only learn from their teachers, but learn from and teach their peers in their classroom, across the country, and even around the world.

Love Zoho for students to work together on a presentation on a period in art history, or a study of the life and work of an artist. They could even create a group presentation with artist statement...

    This Wiki not only offers great insight through a video included called "Did you know 2.0" but through other quotes and references. Although it's a litte dated, 2006, it's amazing how its easy to see the progression from then to now five years later.

    Persuasive article using statistics to demonstrate the reason why we should be including social networking in our schools and for our students. Love the example of posting a paper for parents, peers and teachers to critique so students take it more seriously.

    This is a great resourceful website that everyone should keep bookmarked! It has a list of over 50 links to Web 2.0 tools that are good for education with a 1-5 sentence blurb about what they are capable of and how they can be used. They are also broken down into subcategories, document sharing, discussion forums, etc. If I had a highlighter tool I would have highlighted the CollaborizeClassroom tool because I have found that very interesting and my next link gives some more description about how and why it is used.
