The first time I came across the term "web 2.0 tools" was when I first started my diploma for Teacher-Librarianship. It's funny because now I'm at the end of the trip and I'm revisiting these memories. The specific tool that was introduced to me at the time, 3 years ago, was Glogster. It was Angela Monk who told me about it and showed me some samples of student work while I was interviewing her for a course. I remember how fascinated I was by this interactive posterboard and created my own class project when I was teaching Science shortly afterwards. Below is a quick video I made of the main tools I've come across and use today:
Finally, I mentioned Storyjumper in my audio track and so I'm sharing this link because the students in my school in Gr.8 and 9 really enjoyed this tool and I think it works! It's also very secure for the younger kids so that we wouldn't have to worry about publishing.
I had to use Screenr to show you how the book works because I don't know how to embed it!!! Sorry. Quality is lacking but you get the gist of it
Great post that demonstrates your comfortability and skills with Web 2.0 tools, as well as your new explorations and playing with cutting edge stuff. Loved the audioboo audio blog post and the screenr.com demonstration. You are off and running with many skills and tools and are embedding them in your T-L role expertly. Thanks for the "storyjumper" tip!
