Web 2.0


So you didn't know there was a Web 2.0? You wonder what came before that? I have been *in class* for 6 weeks finding that the tools of Web 2.0 are almost limitless, and that blogging, WIKIs, podcasts, screencasts and bookmarking are excllent ways to engage student learners. I had to try it to believe it, and now I subscribe to RSS feeds, I can Google Wave, and more.

The high school art department is under construction this summer, so watch for new and exciting changes. I am hoping to collaborate with a colleague and offer Web 2.0 study groups in the fall of 2010 to share our newly enhanced skills.

I also wanted to share a very fun video of our freshmen trip that I put together using a tool called Photostory. Here is the video! Enjoy!

Stay tuned!
