CREATING A CULTURE FOR LEARNING INNOVATION USING WEB 2.0 COMMUNICATION & COLLABORATION TOOLS
 
What does it look like when technology positively impacts the daily practice of a learning community? Some schools have shifted their thinking to transform best practices, utilize project-based learning activities, and implement school communication initiatives that involve blogging, wikis, and social networking tools.
During this hands-on workshop participants will explore:

  • case studies of schools that have transformed their culture by integrating shared learning and communication innovations (e.g. Google Apps);
  • best practices for using educational technology to sustain the school-home connection;
  • ways to infuse Web 2.0 tools into your school;
  • how to best support professional learning communities with 21st century tools;
  • administrative and instructional scenarios for launching an online learning community.
