Networking Now!!!

"Certainly, Web 2.0 has opened the flood gate on a dam on creativity that we weren’t even fully aware existed, and the explosion of content creation is an indication of the latent energy that’s released when anyone and everyone is able to participate more actively in the different spheres of their lives."

Check out this paper by Steve Hargadon Educational Networking: The Importance Web 2.0 Will Play in Education. He not only offers a great overview of what exactly Web 2.0 is (namely, Educational Networking); but also explores the possibilities and limitations of these technologies in our classrooms.

I have also done some work on Educational Networking for a PD project.  Check it out at Educational Networking: Towards the Twenty First Century Classroom.  The site chronicles my use of the web platform Edmodo with my Social Studies 10 and 11 classes during the Fall of 2009; I also explore limitations and possibilities associated with Educational Networking, and Edmodo in particular.

Network Away!!!
