…technology with a twist

This is a presentation that will challenge your thinking about what’s happening in our schools’ endeavours to bring the real world into the classroom. I particularly like what happened on the excursion to the museum…now that would be disruptive of 19th century teaching and learning! An excursion with not a single “worksheet” in sight?? Yes!!!

Intouch with Learning

Web 2.0 for Student Centred Learning

Wikis

http://www.wikidot.com

Collaboration with others within and outside the school community. All users participate and can make refinements to the pages.

Real life audiences for 21st century learning skills.

http://mrmurphy.org/wp/ - lessons and assignments from a high school language arts teacher

Could be useful for small group work where each group has the responsibility for adding their section to the wiki.

Social Bookmarking

Useful for giving to the class when beginning to research an assignment. Students then add to the lists & key words as they work through their assignment.
