Welcome to our ISTC 731 Web 2.0 Integration Wiki!
We will use this site to present and share our work on Web 2.0 technologies. I have created a page for each of you. You have also been assigned a due date (found on the page); use this page to share your work.

General project information follows, but more specific details about this project will be discussed in class.

As technologies, specifically web-based or Web 2.0 technologies continue to develop, the face of educational technology continues to change. The only true way to keep up with these technologies is through being confident with trying out or experimenting with new tools. Throughout this course we will espouse this theory and continually experiment with and share new technologies and ideas about how they might be used in an instructional setting. Over the course of this semester each class member will be required to research and present a web 2.0 technology and share an idea about how is can be used to improve student learning.

The "presentation" should include a brief explanation of what the technology does and how it works and an equally brief explanation of how it might be used in the classroom. Be sure to give enough detail so that your peers understand both the capabilities and how it might be used. It may be necessary to create a student sample or use the technology to do your presentation.

The majority of these presentations will be done over a distance so you may need to be creative in preparing your presentations. Consider creating an online version of a powerpoint presentation, maybe use a desktop video recording tool such as camtasia or jing, or as noted above, use the technology you're reviewing to present your work.
