<p><strong>Excite</strong> your primary students by integrating <span>today</span>’s technologies into their learning programs. Show them, before they show you, how to communicate in the virtual world with <strong>blogs, wikis and clouds</strong>, all part of Web 2.0.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>This VITTA-developed module is part of the Certificate in Emerging Technologies or can be taken as an individual stand-alone unit. At the completion of the four sessions, you will be <strong>accredited with a Certificate of Emerging Technologies</strong>.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p><strong>What is Web 2.0 and why does it matter for education?</strong> <br></p>
<p>Major new research into the use of Web 2.0 technologies, such as wikis, blogs and social networking, shows that young learners are prolific users of these technologies in their leisure time, but the use of Web 2.0 in the classroom is still limited. The research also found that over half of teachers surveyed believe that Web 2.0 resources should be used more often in the classroom. However, the majority of teachers questioned had never used Web 2.0 applications in lessons, despite being frequent users of technology in their personal and professional lives. In this session you will explore blogs, wikis and cloud computing as an example of Web 2.0 and begin to create a <strong>Professional Learning Network</strong> through blogging.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>The session will include a discussion of important questions that are raised on why primary students should blog and the use of blogs in education, as well as hands-on exploration of some of the tools introduced by the discussion.</p>
