=A Web 2.0 Class=

Course Description **Integrating Web 2.0 Tools into the Classroom** The “new” internet is referred to as Web 2.0 or the Read/Write Web. There are now a multitude of web-based tools available that can allow people, to write online documents, and share information with others through social software like blogs and wikis and use video to support teaching. These tools can positively impact teaching and learning and the implications are significant. This course is designed to provide teachers with an overview of new internet technology tools (Web 2.0 tools, including Blogs, Podcasting, Wikis, RSS Skype, YouTube, TeacherTube, and more). This course will support differentiated instruction models of learning and can be applied to all grade levels and content areas (language arts, social studies, science, math, world language, music, special education, library/study skills, etc).
