 * July 10, 2012**

I am all about FREE STUFF, so I love open source, web 2.0 tools. This is a nice graphic that displays some of the ways Web 2.0 has changed the way we teach and learn.

**//The internet viewed as a medium in which interactive experience, in the form of blogs, wikis, forums, etc, plays a more important role that simply accessing information.//** (Dictionary.com) (For those wanting to delve deeper, Oreilly.com has a much longer and more detailed explanation of its origin.)

 = BLOGGING on WIKISPACES (just like this one!) =

Don't be afraid to just jump in and start creating a wiki. it's easy to learn as you go and you can keep it private until you're ready to share. I've used this for literature circle blogging, to track a child that I'm tutoring this summer, and also have access to or subscribed to wikis through conferences of talks just like Mark's.

=VOICETHREAD = With VoiceThread, group conversations are collected and shared in one place from anywhere in the world. All with no software to install. A VoiceThread is a collaborative, multimedia slide show that holds images, documents, and videos and allows people to navigate slides and leave comments in 5 ways - using voice (with a mic or telephone), text, audio file, or video (via a webcam). Share a VoiceThread with friends, students, and colleagues for them to record comments too. Users can doodle while commenting, use multiple identities, and pick which comments are shown through moderation. VoiceThreads can even be embedded to show and receive comments on other websites and exported to MP3 players or DVDs to play as archival movies.

Feel free to use, adapt, change, make better! But don't forget to share! We use iMovie but there are other video creation sources out there. One easy video maker is animoto.com. It is VERY easy to learn and to use.

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",Times,serif; font-size: 140%;">Glogster is a multimedia online poster creation tool. Glogster posters, or Glogs, are a wonderful way of encouraging reading, writing, speaking and creativity using technology. Students are excited about and enjoy using this program, as it allows a lot of room for creativity. Glogster isn't perfect and can be plagued by small problems such as losing work when Glogs haven’t saved properly but Glogster EDU has alleviated many of these issues.

Valenza and other librarians have gathered and organized resources on virtually any eduation related topic you can imagine.
