Listed below are 16 Things (or activities) that you can do on the web to explore and expand your knowledge of the Internet and Web 2.0 tools. As a member of EDAD 5319 you will be required to do several "Things" each week of the term. There are activities and instructions for each thing that include the creation of certain instructional tools along with a blogging requirement each week where you will reflect on the potential use of the tool in the classroom.
The idea for 16 Things came from several sources who have graciously agreed to share what they have done so that we can participate in this nationwide learning project. The original 23 things was designed as an online learning program that encourages School Librarians and other educators to learn more about emerging technologies on the web that are changing the way people, society, and Libraries access information and communicate with each other. Spring Branch ISD created their own version of 23 Things and 11.5 Things and modified a few of the learning tools. The original Learning 2.0 program was designed by Helene Blowers, Technology Director, Public Library of Charlotte & Mecklenburg County and is loosely based upon Stephen Abram's article, 43 Things I (or You) might want to do this year (Information Outlook - February 2006) and the website 43 Things. We also drew heavily from the Learning 2.0 Through Play.
The design of this online portion of your class was completely built on Web 2.0 technologies that are freely available on the Internet. These sites include: Blogger, FlickrCC, TeacherTube, PBWiki & Google Reader, and others.
Hang on, it is going to be a great adventure for all involved. Ready - Set - Play!
