      These are 'influential presentations' but far better suited to the higher level thinker than the Year 6 class. YouTube is better for variety of video.

New Models Tools Web 2.0

shared by Tom March on 08 Jun 09 - Cached
  • Google has not only spent time and energy making sure Wave can suck content into the platform, it has spent as much time and energy making sure it can get out too! Farewell destination based business models. Farewell walled gardens. If Wave gets adapted, it will put the user in control, and that is exactly what we need to do to break out of our current web 2.0 boundaries. That is what makes this development so remarkable.
  • Google just did some major plumbing on the web, and honestly, they were probably the only ones that could do this
  • Tom March on 08 Jun 09
     
    Some really good points are made in this post, highlighting how limited Web 2.0 in its segmentation of cool apps. All schools (everyone?) know that combining the data and tools we already have is critical.

      It's a means of sending an email to various other people at once. For example, you might send an email addressed to a parent concerning a manner but you'd CC the same email to your year level co-ordinator so they know exactly what you're communicating to said parent.

      Yes, any means - Moodle, Wordpress, Sharepoint, etc. - the idea is that we have a professional responsibility to make core documents available. Do you agree?

      Finding online resources (Wikis, Blogs) that dont require email addresses and passwords can be an issue with younger students.
    • hal jordan
      hal jordan on 22 Apr 09
       
      That's why setting up an in-house system where you can create a large number of individual student accounts at the start of the year (such as VBulletin) comes in very handy.

      Any ideas about the best way to do this? Should it be a WEB 2.0 application, such as Dropbox? Or is bandwith use a concern, so a LAN setup should be used?
    • hal jordan
      hal jordan on 22 Apr 09
       
      Just to save on costs, you'd probably have to do it over a LAN. It would also create a more reliable system, since an intranet/local network is less likely to fail than the connection to outside resources.
