Look this: When Technology Fails or The Miracle Ball Method
Blogs, Wikis, Podcasts, and Other Powerful Web Tools for Classrooms
Author: Will Richardson
"Hits the nail on the head by emphasizing how technology can be used in ways that go beyond one-on-one student use of software programs and teachers' use of PowerPoint for presentations. The book emphasizes the collaborative work and learning that can occur when educators take advantage of all that the Internet has to offer."—Erica Boling, Assistant Professor of Literacy Education Rutgers, The State of University of New Jersey.
Use the Web to help students learn more, create more, and communicate more effectively!
Technology impacts every facet of students' lives and plays a significant role in how students receive and process information. The second edition of Blogs, Wikis, Podcasts, and Other Powerful Web Tools for Classrooms shows educators at all levels and disciplines how to tap into the potential of digital tools for creating relevant, interactive learning experiences in the classroom.
With updated research on Web technology, a critical section on Internet safety, and a new emphasis on information literacy with related links, this resource equips teachers with
• Definitions, explanations, and how-to's for using technology to enhance learning.
• Applications for blogs, wikis, podcasts, Real Simple Syndication (RSS) feeds, aggregators, social bookmarking, and online photo galleries
• Real-world examples from K-12 teachers around the world
When Teachers expand their knowledge of Web tools to build 21 st-century learning skills, they can effectively prepare students for future success.
