Click on this simple intro to find out how to use the videos. These videos were created for teachers to help them to incorporate technology into their teaching. Just click and a video will open and take you through how to use that technology. To start now, just click on any of the links on the left. My own background is in teaching English, so if you scroll down you will see a special section of ELT videos which are grouped separately.

Jen Carbonneau's Web Log: Wikis in Education
There is such insecurity among parents and educators alike when it comes to using the web 2.o tools. It's almost fear--but more like ignorance of the reality that it is better to teach the students about the proper use rather than sheild them from the potential benefits of the web.

Weblogg-ed » Web 2.0 Not for Everyone (?)
And I love this little twist from Sir Ken’s book: It’s not “how intelligent are you?” as much as it’s “how are you intelligent?” He talks about “The Element” as being at the intersection of “unique personal aptitude combined with a deep passion and commitment” (46).
Student social media project could be great PR tool | Proof
The students post blogs and videos, reviews and opinions because they want to and because they can (yes, it is a class, but I don't think you can fake the way the students are bought into the project). That is authentic.
SchoolTube
Youtube for schools? Good backers. Nice looking site. A safe place to upload videos for students and schools.
About Becta - Becta report shows benefits of Web 2.0 in the classroom - Becta
Becta has published major new research into the use of Web 2.0 technologies, such as wikis, blogs and social networking, by children between the ages of 11-16, both in and out of the school environment.
The reports found that young learners are prolific users of Web 2.0 technologies in their leisure time but that the use of Web 2.0 in the classroom was limited. However, schools and teachers who are innovating in this area have found benefits, such as:

An online timeline maker that looks really good. I've been looking for an online timeline maker for some time and think this could be the a great free product. I've signed up for a beta account and have started creating my first timeline. Really easy, straight forward. Allows you to add URL links to say...videos? Add pictures, span an event over time. All in all a great looking Web 2.0 application!

You know these kids are proud of their work and you know they're checking Amazon every day waiting for there book to show up there. From digital to print...that seems way to cool!
Congrats to Mr. Mayo's class!

George Mayo, who has been doing great work over the past couple of years with his seventh graders in Virginia, and who attended that workshop, has helped his kids put together a book that is now for sale at Lulu. It’s a set of personal narratives titled “Stories from the Past.”
The book is a compilation of narrative essays, written by my seventh grade students, telling the stories of their grandparents, parents and other relatives. These essays show the amazing diversity we have at Silver Spring International Middle School. The stories range from a guerilla war in Ecuador, to WW II and the Great Depression, to two survival stories from the Holocaust, escaping Vietnam during the war, and many more.
It’s a free download, and it costs about $12 to get the paperback version. As George writes “The students are amazed that they are actually published.” In a few weeks, the book will be available on Amazon, Borders, and Barnes and Noble. And, I’m sure, it will have a place in his school library.

A specialized social networking site allowing learners of all
stripes to organize, tag, rate, and share citations to reference
materials.Have a term paper coming due on Hamlet? Search through Carmun to find what others have used and how good it is.
This once again comes back to ideas of folksonomy, the power of tagging, and organizing information.
Share what you know.
