Thank you to all that replied. The workshop went very well and I ended up presenting the workshop using my glogster of favorite Web 2.0 tools for about and hour then gave the participants about 1/2 hour to peruse the various sites from the glog.…

Well, I would have to say Glogster and Voicethread. They are such great tools for all students. My elementary students who are more visual and artsy love Glogster. Those that like to talk and express their opinions love voicethread.

I'd have to say Ning would be my favorite "Web 2.0 Tool" because of it's many uses. My students can collaborate in groups, write blogs, and posts, comments, videos, music etc -- all to build class community.

Wallwisher and Etherpad are two tools that I have seen being used effectively in the classroom! Students are engaged and excited to use both! I use alot of post-its in the real world, so I guess that's why I was anxious to use them virtually…

- About Me
- My name is Karen Evans. I have been in the field of education for 20 years, 14 years as a classroom teacher; the remainder in the technology division of education. Upon obtaining my master’s degree in Educational Technology (2002), I became an employee with the Frisco ISD as a Technology Integration Facilitator (TIF). As a Technology Integration Facilitator, my primary duties are: assisting the educator in integrating technology into their curricula, curriculum writing, and conducting multiple staff developments. Concurrently, I created online computer centers (http://www.dovewhisper.com/computercenter.htm); utilized throughout the district, to (both) assist teachers in incorporating the technology as well as enriching their curricula.
In my experience as a classroom teacher, I have witnessed the positive impact technology has had on my students. As this technologically driven world moves forward, the need to adapt the role of the educator, as well as meet the demands of the future, are imperative.
In going from old school to new school, the majority of educators are modifying their baseline teaching approach by facilitating learning, instead of simply dispensing knowledge. Today, technology in the classroom is an instrument utilized to deliver instruction/information to accommodate all learning styles. This said, technology has opened the door to a wealth of information that has the capabilities to enhance the educational structure we offer to our students. Most of our students are entering the classroom with a wealth of pre-exposed knowledge to technology and are aware of what the internet has to offer. As educators, it is essential for us to evolve with this generation and with the evolution of technology into our daily lives.

I will be presenting a workshop on Favorite Web 2.0 Tool for the classroom. If you had to choose your favorite Web 2,0 site to use in the classroom, what would it be? It could be for both students and/or educator (K-12).. I appreciate your assistance.

With your work as a technology facilitator I recommend you take a look at Wiziq's virtual classroom and authorstream's power point presentation platform.
Both are web based, have a bunch features and free basic service. I think both technologies will be helpful to Frisco staff and students especially if you're trying to get a bit more online.
