How can Web 2.0 assist in improving learning outcomes for all students?
By using all the tools shown to me in the Web 2.0 course and through my own technology experiences, I, and we, can help improve the learning outcomes of all studnets. I have seen it for myself withing my own classroom this year! Using blogs, Podcasts, Vodcasts, iTunes and bubbl.us helped the children understand the content better, and there final work samples were stupendous!
By using technology and the internet, studnets respond to the activities and the curriculum in such a way that you cannot achieve with just pen and paper! There these kinds of learners. You can also use the Blooms Digital Taxonomy to enforce the learning and help the children achieve the outcomes stated by the DET and IofT.
I have had a blast doing these courses and my world has been exposed to so many new and interesting things!
Things I plan to use: Blogs, Glogster, iTunes, Google Docs, bubbl.us, Youtube, Twitter, Facebook and so many others. I can use all these tools across all the KLA's.
They are AWESOME because the students can relate to these tools because most of them are all ready using them! Sometimes I feel like its us, the teachers, who are behind in using technology and keeping up with the kids!
That's why this course, the Web 2.0 course was so AWESOME, because it helped teach teachers about the endless possibilities out there using web based tools for the children to share their knowledge, be inspired by it and create some amazing work samples in a way not possible 1, 3, 5 or even 10 years ago!
Thanks to all the people who created this Web 2.0 course! It was a great eye opener and much appreciated learning!
