- Inquiry Meets Web 2.0 - Wednesday and Thursday – Overnight – August 13 and 14
- Inquiry Based Learning focuses on student as knowledge creator
and producer. Student to teacher and student-to-student collaboration
is essential for learning. Integration of new technologies is a given.
Students need to know how to use ALL of the tools available to them
to work effectively and efficiently. Many of the newest tools, such
as wikis and tagging, provide for collaborative work. Today’s educators
are strategically positioned to lead learning communities in the responsible
uses of technology for learning. This two day Tech camp is designed
to help teaching teams gain a comfort level with some of the Web 2.0
technologies. Sessions will be informal and collaborative. Strategies
for integration into the curriculum will be offered and shared. Topics
covered may include: blogs and wikis, tagging, de.lic.ious, Flickr,
Library Thing , and podcasts. Instructor: Polly Farrington Location:
Rensselaerville Institute
