Module Overview

Web 2.0
Tools You
Can Use
The creator of the blog writes entries (posts) to the blog. The posts appear in reverse chronological order with the newest entries on top. The entry may contain reflections, ideas, questions or conversation starters, links to resources and even multimedia.
Blogging is a two-way street. Once the entry is posted, readers who access the blog can participate by leaving comments, thus creating online conversations.
Previous entries are all stored on the blog site for future reference.
No experience necessary! You don’t have to be a web master to create a blog. Several websites offer templates, hosting, tutorials, and advice. This site was created at www.blogger.com
The creator of the wiki manages the space. Collaborators are invited to edit the space.
The wiki contains links to PDF documents, multimedia, and/or other pertinent web sites.
Several websites will you’re your wiki and provide all the tools you need to create one.

Preliminary feedback
• Grammatical and formatting errors
• Questions could use instructions
• No feedback on pre-test
• Nice approach
• Rephrase some text
Preliminary Revisions
• Took out WebQuests
• Grammatical and formatting
• Removed feedback from pre-test
• Added and revised content
Rejected Revisions
• Add non-examples
• Take out Charlotte’s web blog
Evaluator #1
• Middle School Spanish teacher and co-worker
• Reluctant to integrate internet technology
• No previous experience with Web 2.0 tools
“So this is where I can put podcasts in Espanol?”
“Take out Google Docs.”“I love the graphics!”
Evaluator #2
• First Grade Teacher• Anxious to incorporate
more technology into her curriculum
• No previous experience with Web 2.0 tools
“Is this hard to create? How time consuming is creating a blog or a wiki?”
“Why not include info on where you can create blogs and wikis for those of us that want to get started?”
Evaluator #3
• Sixth grade teacher• Anxious to incorporate more
technology into her curriculum• Has started using blogs in her
classroom“I’m glad this is going to be self-
instructional because I already know all this and I can finish it up pretty quickly rather than sitting in a 45 minute class. It’s a great reference though and I’d like to use it with the students as well.”
One-on-one setting
• After school in the computer lab.
• Teachers individually went through the module as I observed and took notes.– Facial expressions– Time (30 minutes)– Comments
Feedback
• Examples were great and module should include more.
• Additional non-verbal comments
• Chose teachers that are honest and constructively critical
• Great benefit towards the project
• Dispelled assumptions
Additional Revisions
• Took out Google Docs
• Included information on where to go next
• Added a couple of more examples
??????Lessons Learned
• Settle on a plan and use the one-on-ones to test out ideas
• Don’t assume how the learner will react
• Know your learner and content well
• Gather feedback from a variety of learners– Missing laggards
• Keep discarded content for future projects
Everyone knows
learning must be
serious and
difficult and you
must remain
seated at all times.
No fun allowed!

Reflection
• Settling on a topic was most difficult part
• Working solo had advantages and disadvantages– Time– Collaboration
• Valuable experience for my own ID project
• Thank you Ari & Rochelle
