This PowerPoint was created for a workshop at Lipscomb for teachers of Conceptual Physics.

1. & Web 2.0 Carrie Thornthwaite

2. A bit about me… Physics major Taught math & physics Glencliff HS – ’88-’98 Lipscomb – ’98 to present Educational Technology Favorite Topics - p & Web 2.0 From '81 on... “Doing What I Don’t Know How to Do” ~ Eduardo Chillida - Educause by R. Martin Reardon

3. So what is Web 2.0? Tim O’Reilly To find something comparable, you have to go back 500 yrs to the printing press Printing destroyed the old world of kings and aristocracies. “Technology is shifting power away from the editors, the publishers, the establishment, the media elite. Now it’s the people who are taking control.” ~ Rupert Murdoch Web 2.0 for Beginners- Mike Stopforth

4. Kevin Kelly, 2005 The scope of the Web today is hard to fathom. Internet now allows participation by virtually anyone with Internet access. We Are the Web!

5. So, what is the impact on Teaching & Learning? Web 2.0 has brought “a new wave of innovation for teaching and learning” (Alexander, Educause, 2006) Students are clamoring for these technologies Web 2.0 tools allow for constructivism Yet many teachers “don’t want to use new technologies at all” (Presky, 2007, p.41)

6. The way we were in 1900... …and now, my classroom today…

7. Is this still how my student see me?

11. Learning Theory Connectivism: A Learning Theory for the Digital Age – George Siemens Technology is altering (rewiring) our brains. The tools we use define and shape our thinking. Our ability to learn what we need for tomorrow is more important than what we know today. Know-how and know-what is being supplemented with know-where (the understanding of where to find knowledge needed). taken from of The Outsourcing Knowledge

12. Can anyone else think of an employment sector other than K-12 and postsecondary education where employees have the right to refuse to use technology? A grocery store checker doesn't get to say 'No thanks, I don't think I'll use a register.' A stockbroker doesn't get to say, 'No thanks, I don't think I'll use a computer.' An architect doesn't get to say, 'No thanks, I don't think I'll use AutoCAD.’ But in education, we plead and implore and incentivize but we never seem to require. ~ Scott McLeod, Iowa State Univ.

13. Key Characteristics of Web 2.0 Larger community User friendly Sharing Collaboration All about the user Innovation Culture Trends for 2008 - “Convenience, Collaboration, Convergence”

14. The Collaborators! Web 2.0 readings – Class wiki Social Networking - LinkedIn Micro-blogging - Twitter Classroom 2.0 Social Bookmarking (Delicious) SurveyMonkey Wikis, including Wikipedia YouTube and Flickr Google Docs Class Web 2.0 project

15. Bl o gging we b logs = 7 Things that You Should Know about Blogging – educause “blogging is pure constructivism” ~Les Potter, EdD Weekly response papers Peer review of student writings or group work Postings of assignments, lesson plans, curriculum for parents, &/or announcements Provide students with a discussion board to ask questions of peers or teachers Discussion of specific reading material Blogs for Formative Assessment and Interactive Teaching

16. Class Blogs Science Blog – first attempt at blogging Lies Your Physics Teacher Told you? AP Physics Class blog site Lindsay Doyle’s Blog (Jeopardy) Jacobs Physics Claudia Assini

17. Blogging is great, but beware….

18. What is a wiki?

19. Founded 1/01 more history Want to know about the knighting of Francis Drake? Jimmy Wales "Wikipedia is surprisingly good proof that collaborative work by amateurs can provide balanced and reliable information, and even become a vigorous site of public debate and negotiation.” ~ Patricia Aufderheide, American University, Communications professor Seigenthaler controversy Is Wikipedia the New Town Hall? Current poll on Edutopia

20. Benefits of Using Wiki in the Classroom Understanding Wikis - Their Advantages & Disadvantages http://mommyrevenue. Are Wikis Worth the Time? - pdf Wiki Wisdom: Lessons for Educators - edweek BUWC: Thoughts from Boston College Facilitates Collaborative Authoring: learning from others; Developing a higher level of critical thinking; Deepening investigative skills; Developing skills for negotiating conflict and facilitating effective teamwork; building a class community Empowers Students to Create Knowledge Reflects Newly-emerging Teacher-student Paradigm Prepares Students for the Post-university World Encourages Creativity

24. Social Networking RIP: 2001 Definition: “where people develop networks of friends and associates. It forges and creates links between different people. Like social bookmarks … a social network can form a key element of collaborating and networking.” http://www.techlearning.com/story/showArticle.php?articleID=196605124 Social Network Sites: Definition, History, Scholarship http://jcmc.indiana.edu/vol13/issue1/boyd.ellison.html
