The Web 2.0 Lexicon • RSS • Feeds • Mash-Up • Social Networking • Widget • Folksonomy • Tags • Open Source • AJAX
What are Web Applications? • Allow you to perform tasks or create objects without software. • Often known as “Web 2.0” applications. • Often have an element of social interaction. • Accessible from anywhere. • Usually FREE!
Risks • Applications go up and down. • Applications get bought out. • Applications may create thing that can’t leave the confines of the particular web site (e.g./ can’t be downloaded to a disc/dvd/etc…) • Students with computers at home may get to spend more time on projects than students without since it’s easily accessible.
A Note On Blocking • EPSB and ECS block many Web 2.0 sites… you can get around this!!! • Written request submitted to your technology department. • Provide a rational, pedagogical justification for the site to be unblocked at YOUR school. • Describe how you will keep students safe.
Range of Tools… • Consider student motivation • Consider learning styles • Consider literacy and communication skills. • Consider enrichment • Consider special needs (cognitive and motor skills)
