What is web 2.0What is web 2.0

"Web 2.0" refers to the second generation of web development and web design that facilitates information sharing, interoperability, user-centered design[1] and collaboration on the World Wide Web.

Why now and why AHS?Why now and why AHS?

It’s the pedagogy that matters Is technology just another teaching tool irrelevant of

pedagogy?

Our pedagogy is sound. Collaboration, situated learning, problem based learning,

higher order thinking,scaffolding, formative assessments, positive interdependence, and on and on.

Could technology be a better way to deliver the pedagogy we know works?

Content knowledge and pedagogy equal weight to technology

Knowledge bases do not act in isolation How we use technology affects how we learn content

Someone skilled in mathematics, using technology, and education techniques will be the most effective?

Why Web 2.0Why Web 2.0

We use a lot of technology, but how much do our kids use?

Many of our kids are not engaged in school, but they are engaged social networking

Web 2.0 is intensely social Expand their world view

Teacher created and controlled, hand out lessons, assignments, etc. I tried this last year and it stunk!

Class Blog Class and teachers act as authors Teacher guides the content This is what I want to try this year

The Mother Blog Each student has their own blog, interconnected with the teachers blog. Teacher blog feeds the students blog, but students have autonomy over their

blog Somewhat like Ning, which I will be using

The Scribe PostThe Scribe Post

Foundation of a student centered blog Rotational basis, students post the days lesson,

their understanding of it, and questions or concern Other students can comment and anonymously

edit/help the poster Useful engagement of students, and also used by

students as a study tool See examples in the screen capture videos.

Can be similar to a blog Threaded discussions are usually the foundation More educational functionality than a blog Allows instructor to manage assignments,

assessments, projects, etc. School district will provide you training in

Moodle. I have tried moodle, along with three other math teachers in

the district. I am not going to use it this semester

An example of a Web 2.0 assignment Students demonstrate their own learning by creating something for others to learn by

Seems like it would be reasonable to create one of these for each student in a semester!

The AssignmentThink back on all the things you have learned so far this semester and create (not copy) four problems that are representative of what you have learned. Provide annotated solutions to the problems; they should be annotated well enough for an interested learner to understand and learn from you. Your problems should demonstrate the upper limit of your understanding of the concepts. (I expect more complex problems from a student with a sophisticated understanding than from a student with just a basic grasp of concepts.) You must also include a brief summary reflection (250 words max) on this process and also a comment on what you have learned so far.

Not covered in depth in this report Easy and free/cheap with tools like audacity,

Quicktime, or garage band Students realize that activities like this are

accessible to them Can produce student radio, poetry reading,

tutorials When I went to Iraq I “podcasted” me reading

bedtime stories and Avery was able to listen to them every night.
