Principal teaching students and teachers to use Twitter for education
Automatic captioning for videos on some sites
Auto-timing for videos uploaded with transcript, using speech recognition.
Should help with producing videos accessible to hearing-impaired students
Works very nicely. Save Powerpoint file as slides and .pdf file. Requires Adobe Acrobat (expensive) to set up the file to open as a slide show.
Not Web2.0, but a very useful technique.
Also contains links to tools by category and tools that have increased and decreased in popularity
Several suggested activities and how-to's for Google Docs
Interesting, thoughtful articles about using networking online to support learning
Interesting article about limitations of Learning Mangement Systems (content-focused) with respect to social networking, collaboration, teamwork (Social Networking Systems - SNS). Posits the success of Facebook as evidence that social networking is important not only in life but also education. Facebook as a model for future online education? Not until they get the privacy thing fixed.
Comprehensive list of Web 2.0 tools, categorized by use and type
Example of using a Diigo group in a class. Links are annotated and the discussion feature is used (click on Filter: Topics to see just the discussion)
Students and educators are in agreement that technology is an important adjunct to education - but students are not impressed with how well instructors understand and integrate technology into their classes.
Overview and demo (skip about 1st 10 minutes - it's setup for the webconference session that was recorded; just drag the slider at the bottom of the video). Ends after an hour, but then questions follow.
Also a lot of links related to diigo underneath the video on the page.
