Through these workshops participants will become more familiar with Web 2.0 tools, websites and applications. Participants will also be involved in ongoing discussions about how these tools could be used in classroom to support the learning of students.

Using Video for Teaching and Learning
AM session: 9.00-12.15PM
Video as digital media is now highly accessible on the internet and is becoming a more common multimedia resource to use with your students.
We will cover 'where to find videos', and what to do with them once found. We will also look at some of the production and editing tools, especially those that can be used in a web browser. Other video-related topics covered will be screencasting, streaming video and embedding video into blogs and other webpages ... and, of course, YouTube.
If you already have a video camera then please feel free to bring along to show others ... I'll be showing my favourite ... the Flip Camcorder
Advanced Internet Applications designed to save teachers time (RSS & PLN)
PM Session: 12.45-5.00pm
Do your Students already have Blogs, Podcasts, Wikis, Websites and other online resources.... and you are needing to spend great amounts of time online checking their work.
One of the tools to help with this task is RSS ... Really Simple Syndication ... in this workshop we will clarify what this is and also set up an RSS aggregator so that the work from the Blogs of all of your students can be seen clearly all on one webpage.
We will also look further at what an online "Personal Learning Network" (PLN) is ... and how it might be visualised and quantified to save you even more time managing your own professional development.
These sessions are designed to be of relevance to:
teacher librarians and classroom teachers in both primary and secondary schools and across all subject areas
support the work of ICT co-ordinators
raise awareness of practical application of web 2.0 tools in teaching and learning
be of interest to senior managers who wish to better their understanding of the new online tools and collaborative opportunities for teaching and learning and teacher professional development
