Description
Web 2.0 has brought about a grassroots revolution resulting in a global democratization of access to tools, information, experts, content, and education, and in many ways has begun to change how education is delivered, conducted, and defined. I believe it is my obligation as a responsible netizen and educator in this moment to participate, to evaluate, to document, and to expose and engage students and faculty to and in this process. This presentation will endeavor to challenge and inspire you to think outside your box to consider possibilities for your own instruction. I will demonstrate my “box” and how I am exploring what it really means to be student-centered. I will show you what happens when web 2.0 technologies (twitter, voicethread, diigo, edublogs, jing, meebome, seesmic, youtube, gcast, audacity, polldaddy) are stitched together into one fully online course in moodle. I will talk about how I did it and why. And I will also invite you to explore selected tools for yourself, and to join my networks, so you can share with me what you know, and what you learn.
