[Gifted and Talented] Certificate of Emerging Technologies in Geelong - last chance! (sorry for any x-emailing)

[Fay Richardson]

LAST OPPORTUNITY TO REGISTER! DON'T MISS OUT!

Excite your students by integrating today's technologies into their learning
programs. Show them, before they show you, how to communicate in the virtual
world with blogs, wikis and clouds. All part of Web 2.0. This VITTA created
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 accredited with a Certificate of Emerging Technologies.

What is Web 2.0 and why does it matter for education? 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 Professional Learning Network through blogging.

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.
