Inspire Innovate 2010 ~ Expanding the way learners think: Practical “Web 2.0” skills for teachers and their students.
“Technology is better used as a tool and intellectual partner that can expand the ways that learners think -- not just try to cram his/her head with more information” (Prof. David Jonassen, eLearning Post, 2001).
With David Jonassen’s thoughts in mind this workshop is designed to show how superior online publishing tools, such as WordPress, can be used to encourage sound learning experiences and outcomes within and without the classroom. Such tools can be self-hosted by the school or region and accessed via an Intranet and/or the Internet. The same tools can also be used to set up valuable communities of practice. These links should be useful for particopants attending the workshop. They can also be found on this web page: Web
2.0 Workshop.
