I would love to bring on some people using Skype during the Administrator's workshop especially.<BR/><BR/>Bach- your comments are right on. That is what I am finding. In reading Darren Draper's recent post where he uses Bernajean Porter's graphic to show where teacher technology retention is highest, it is easy to see how your point makes such perfect sense. I definitely plan on adding some dialogue to the course title and description to that end.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08156784418545421424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6849319076574250282.post-55737746014347378162007-05-14T09:13:00.000-05:002007-05-14T09:13:00.000-05:00I concur-- some great ideas!

What I would recommend is that instead of teaching a Web 2.0 application in a vacuum, teach it as a curriculum connection, such as "Using del.icio.us as part of the Junior Class research paper" or something to that regard. I have found that when courses are taught, teachers learn how to use that application, but it is done so in isolation of their content area, especially for high school educators.Barry Bachenheimerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17145587794589872889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6849319076574250282.post-87308326783311836642007-05-13T22:55:00.000-05:002007-05-13T22:55:00.000-05:00Wow!

Not only does this sound like an incredible set of courses, it sounds good enough to steal!!<BR/><BR/>I'm doing a two (and a half) day workshop on Web 2.0 tools this summer, too. I'll probably just scratch the surface of blogs, wikis, social bookmarking, RSS, and maybe a little podcasting. How is/are your class(es) structured? Is this one extended class, or separate courses that teachers elect to take? How long will you be able to spend on each? <BR/><BR/>I'd be willing to try to Skype in during your session (as soon as I figure out how to do that!! I have a Skype, I've just never tried it with anyone other than the test voice :) But I'm open to it! Perhaps we could demonstrate for each other's classes?<BR/><BR/>If you don't want to try to reply here, feel free to email me privately (Email on my blog, which is pathetic right now!), or we'll talk more in Ning.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
