Week 12: The Last Hurrah!

Welcome to the last week of Learn and Earn! Thank you for your participation throughout the course of this class. I hope you learned about some new digital tools to use not only for yourself as a teacher but with your students in your classroom.

For those of you taking this class for clock hours, soon we will be sending out the paperwork for you to fill out and return.

This week, for your last “assignment” I'm asking two things:
1. Go back to one or two previous posts and take a look at your classmates’ comments. Choose one or two of these comments to respond to by answering someone’s question, providing your perspective on someone’s idea, offering a suggestion, etc.

2. Provide your feedback about the class using the form below.

Thank you and I hope you have a wonderful school year!

Week 11-Web 2.0

Web 2.0 refers to the idea that the web is now a place where people can interact and collaborate using tools such as blogs, wikis, social networking sites etc. and is no longer just a place to view information. E-learning Tools for School is a collection of web 2.0 tools. (Click on the plus symbol next to the type of tools you are looking for then click on the tiny icon next to the name to view the site.)

For your post this week: Take some time to explore 5-7 tools in-depth and report back telling us your top 3 tools. Explain how you could see yourself using each tool with your students.
