I learned how to use these tools effectively in my classroom through unique scenarios that helped me understand and choose some of the best Web 2.0 tools. The approach focused on the task and tool in an effort to improve communication, collaboration, presentation, creativity, problem solving, and critical thinking with our learners. We took part in a robust exchange of practical ideas while participating in online discussion forums and sharing our experiences and learning from fellow teachers about best practices with Web 2.0 tools in our content areas.
Hands-On Projects:
Lesson Plan – This project was not complicated but required me to think differently. I have never done a lesson plan anything like this. It was helpful in a sense that I have another example of a different type of lesson plan besides the type I was required to use in my undergraduate studies and what I am required to use at my school. I will not use this in my own teaching because we have a certain format and requirements for our lesson plans that have to be submitted online and in a notebook kept on our desk.
