Web 2.0 for Teaching and Learning (CALM Workshop) 2
Overview of Web 2.0 Web 2.0 is accepted as the richer version of Web 1.0 (the static World Wide Web). It facilitates a more socially connected Web where everyone is able to add to and edit the information space. It is like having more controls over the web pages, where almost everyone without technical expertise in web programming is able to contribute and create web contents. Most of the Web 2.0 applications were created or developed for social networking purposes such as Facebook, MySpace and Twitter. However, in recent years, the Web 2.0 technologies have been capitalised in creating more tools for teaching and learning purposes. Some of these are shared in this short workshop. You can find out more about Web 2.0 via this link: http://oreilly.com/web2/archive/what-is-web-20.html
Integrating Web 2.0 tools: Some Considerations Here are some considerations that we might want to take when integrating Web 2.0 tools into teaching and learning activities: Provide time and space to students for familiarisations of the tools. Be a user of the tool yourself, experiment before using it. Aim to improve learning and not to impress learners. Provide clear guidelines to the expectations of use. (Tell students what can and cannot be done)
