Connect - Collaborate 2.0 - Learning Web 2.0: Tools for 21st Century Teaching and Learning

Welcome to Connect - Collaborate 2.0, Learning Web 2.0 – a staff development course for GCPS teachers, media specialists and LSTC’s designed to provide an introduction to some common tools and concepts related to web 2.0. This course is designed to be a learning lab, a place where you can roll up your sleeves, get messy, make mistakes and hopefully have a little fun. There is so much out there in the web 2.0 world and it is changing daily, my hope is that you will take away from this course a better understanding of some of the more common web 2.0 tools and ideas for how you can integrate these tools into your teaching and your everyday life.

This course was originally created in the summer of 2010 as an online, 20 hour, self paced course for teachers at Rock Springs Elementary. I have revised it to be a ten hour, in person, hands on course. If you would like to take a look at the original online course please visit the Raptor Web 2.0 wiki page.

Your blog (which we will set up as the first activity) will serve as your class work and a record of your participation in the course. You will receive 1 PLU credit for completion of this course.
