 |
The workshops will cover blogging, podcasting, digital storytelling and free tools for Web 2.0.
The read/write web is full of cool tools that are free and easy to use. For example, Google have a whole suite of web-embedded tools that have fantastic applications in the classroom. Not only are they free, but they enable creation, collaboration and sharing of information and resources in ways we haven’t seen before. Other tools let us experience the power of digital storytelling using multimedia applications that are powerful, simple and free. We
will also cover all the skills required for blogging, podcasting, creating digital artworks and exploring CAD (computer aided design) with students. Course participants will leave this session with a plethora of great teaching ideas in their tool-box, an incredible amount of inspiration and realistic goals to implement back in their schools and in their classrooms.
