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 Professional Learning Network through blogging.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";color:#555555'>The session will include a discussion of important questions that are raised on why 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.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><strong><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";color:#555555'>Dates:</span></strong><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";color:#555555'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";color:#555555'>* Part 1: Tuesday 10th May Blogs, wikis, clouds: Web 2.0 and Education<br>* Part 2: Monday 23rd May Podcasts and digital story telling to Enhance Learning<br>* Part 3: Wednesday 8th June Cybersafety, copyright and digital citizenship<br>* Part 4: Wednesday 23rd June Mobile Technologies for Learning<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><strong><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";color:#555555'>Venue:</span></strong><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";color:#555555'> Geelong High School, Ryrie Street, East Geelong VIC 3219 (03) 5229 2221 Melways map 402 N6/P6<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";color:#555555'><a href="http://maps.google.com.au/maps/place?oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=geelong+High+School&fb=1&gl=au&hq=High+School&hnear=Geelong+VIC&cid=12945931124997274941&ei=bc2nTfLNLYPQrQeVwo2oCA&sa=X&oi=local_result&ct=placepage-link&resnum=2&ved=0CCQQ4gkwAQ">Click here for google map</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p><strong><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";color:#555555'>Time:</span></strong><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";color:#555555'> 4.00 pm to 7.00 pm<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><strong><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";color:#555555'>Price:</span></strong><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";color:#555555'> VITTA Members $125 each session or $450 for 4<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";color:#555555'> Non-members $160 each session or $600 for 4<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";color:#555555'>If you would like to register for all four sessions at the discounted price please email jo@vitta.org.au<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";color:#555555'><br><strong><span style='font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"'>Cancellations:</span></strong> No refunds if less than 5 working days notice.
