Creating, Collaborating and Blended Learning in the 21st Century Infoverse

 

It is plain to see our information environment has changed dramatically in the past ten years. Digital content online offers rich opportunties for learning which caters to visual learners. Digital collaborative possibilities abound which extend far beyond email, word processing, and gradebook software. Videoconferencing, blogging, and social networking are now mainstream activities for many of our youth. Where do teachers begin in an effort to appropriately, safety, and effectively integrate digital technologies into the learning environment and curriculum? Are their safe and controlled ways teachers and students can use web 2.0 tools for learning? This presentation explores many of these possibilities focusing on FREE tools and applications which permit learners of all ages to CREATE and COLLABORATE in safe, moderated environments and ways which comply with existing U.S. copyright laws. BLENDED learning should be a key focus for teachers as well as students in the 21st century classroom. This presentation focuses on practical ways teachers can begin, with "small victories" (to quote Marco Torres) which teachers can begin implementing right away.

 

This session is scheduled to be shared over video on 17 and 18 Jan 2008 to Ector County, Texas, and 28 Jan 2008 to El Paso, Texas. Podcast recordings of one of those sessions will be linked here subsequently.
