The tools of the new “Read/Write Web” are transforming
what we can do in the classroom. From blogs to wikis,
social bookmarking tools to Flickr, podcasts to screencasts,
these creative new technologies are connecting our students to
the world in ways never known before. This session takes a
look at some of the important ways educators are implementing
these new technologies in their schools, their own
professional practice and their classrooms.
WILL RICHARDSON is an “evangelist” for the use of social Web
technologies in education and is the author of Blogs, Wikis,
Podcasts and Other Powerful Web Tools for the Classroom
(Corwin Press, 2006). His own Weblog at www.weblogg-ed.com
has been featured in the New York Times, Washington Post and
Wall Street Journal. An educator for 22 years, his students
have used blogs and related technologies to collaborate with
Pulitzer Prize winning journalists and best selling authors and
students from around the globe. He has worked with thousands
of educators to integrate these technologies into their classrooms
and their own practice.
Blogs, Wikis, Podcasts:
News broadcasters are writing them and reporting on
them. Police and government agencies are using them.
Businesses, as well as rock music and sports personalities,
have their own. Your students are participating in them
regularly. Some experts are questioning their validity for
research. Find out what they are and how they can be
used to enhance your classroom activities.
