For those of you are “novice” – you might find some of this hard to digest in a webinar setting. And for those of you who are expert or advanced, you might find this session too basic.So, for those with experience, please share what you know in the chat/backchannel. For novices/beginners, please ask questions.
A couple caveats – I created a webinar wiki – that has my slides and links to resources. I included some excellent tutorial links – screen casts – so you if you want to get granular about how to set up and deploy some particular tools – it’s there for you.
We could probably have a huge debate as to whether we give laptops, smart phone, or social media in the classroom a pass or fail. There are different views for sure. But some have found that access to the web and by extension social media can enrich classroom discussions. It’s individualized to the learning style and the learner.
