Title: Engage Young Learners with Web 2.0 Tools
Presenter: Gail Lovely
Description: Discover curriculum-rich possibilities of engaging Web 2.0 tools like Skype, YackPack, Wikis, and VoiceThread in primary classrooms. Explore real learning ideas, not just “Gee Whiz!”
- Moving from Computer as a toy to computer as a tool
- Younger students should be encouraged to work in pairs.
- Get headset splitters.
- Teach and reward process AND products.
- Link computers in the lab to student learning!
- Easy website accessibility is VERY important for the younger students. They should not have to type in any URLs- > too big of a risk>> create your own website /wiki to publish these links for your students. Try to include images, so they are not only text driven.
