It's personal opinion or commentary - an electronic diary.&nbsp;</i></li> <li>What is the read/write web (or web 2.0)? <i>Surprisingly, this means nothing to the people in the room... wait there's more: it could be a blog, a wiki, etc... anything where there is interaction online... social networking etc.</i></li> <li>What might these things mean to you and your students? <i>People can respond to opinions on blogs (for students in an academic context, for instance). Conversations go on outside of class... access to help and other resources...&nbsp;</i></li> </ol> <i> </i>So we've got something to start with.

A site for communicating with friends. A web-based log entry system - for anything. Tends to be topic based. Ability to comment.

Create, edit, etc. Tools for publishing online (required by common core).&nbsp;</i></li> <li>What might these technologies mean for you and your students? <i>Students might experience (and understand) other points of view... students might participate online (but not in the classroom)... learning can be extended outside the classroom... global experience available... collaboration online - communities... access to different ways of expressing ideas (multi-media)... social construction of knowledge... kids will work harder for peer review... &nbsp;</i> </li> </ol>Mark Wagner, Ph.D.http://www.blogger.com/profile/05333726713166867429noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11563500.post-53928284631811284722010-09-21T13:51:00.000-07:002010-09-21T13:51:18.236-07:00This is not unlike what educational leaders are asked to do...<br /> <object height="385" width="480"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/m_MaJDK3VNE?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/m_MaJDK3VNE?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>Mark Wagner, Ph.D.http://www.blogger.com/profile/05333726713166867429noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11563500.post-81309890350262165992010-09-21T13:32:00.001-07:002010-09-21T13:32:40.518-07:00<ol><li><span style="font-size: large;">Publish your first post.</span></li> <li><span style="font-size: large;">Share the address (URL) of your blog with someone sitting nearby.</span></li> <li><span style="font-size: large;">Comment on a classmate's blog... and moderate a comment from a classmate on your blog. ;)</span></li> </ol>Mark Wagner, Ph.D.http://www.blogger.com/profile/05333726713166867429noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11563500.post-53354883439826198362010-09-21T13:21:00.001-07:002010-09-21T13:21:03.217-07:00Search Google for RTI resources.Mark Wagner, Ph.D.http://www.blogger.com/profile/05333726713166867429noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11563500.post-41260211686377722372010-09-21T13:17:00.000-07:002010-09-21T13:17:46.596-07:00I'm going to demo some of the best posting features.
