Web 2.0 Tools for the 21st Century Classroom

Description: Information, Communications & Technology Literacy skills increasingly are being recognized

as the skills that separate students who are prepared for complex life and work environments in a technology

and media-suffused environment, marked by access to an abundance of information, rapid

changes in technology tools, and those who are not. This 30-hour course is framed around the use of

current digital technologies for engaging and challenging students in learning and applying 21st century

communication and collaboration skills. Through practical, hands-on application of Web 2.0 tools, participants

will explore how to effectively embed digital technology and communication tools within classroom

activities to enhance instruction and assessment.

Skills/Observable Outcomes: Participants will be able to integrate Web 2.0 applications into classroom

learning activities that are appropriately matched to content standards and that enhance student information

literacy skills.
