Posted in books, professional development by tucksoon on March 30, 2010

I’m a avid follower of Terry Freedman (@terryfreedman) and I totally hated myself for missing iCTLT2010 and a chance to attend his concurrent session, Introducing Web 2.0 Into Your Classroom. Good news is Terry recently released an ebook The Amazing Web 2.0 Projects Book.

It has:

  • 87 projects.
  • 10 further resources.
  • 52 applications.
  • 94 contributors.
  • The benefits of using Web 2.0 applications.
  • The challenges of using Web 2.0 applications.

Best of all, it is free! According to Terry, it has been downloaded 9000 times since released 2 weeks ago!

A Teacher’s Guide to Web 2.0 at School by Sacha Chua

Posted in professional development, slideshows by tucksoon on March 29, 2010

Though I’m a little late in posting this, I guess it’s a good time to share this presentation by Sacha Chua after attending the ICT Mentor Training Programme workshop.

The workshop was great and without a doubt all tools used during the workshop are Web 2.0. However teachers who attended the workshop are constantly reminded, what matters most is HOW teachers used Web 2.0 for teaching and learning but not WHAT Web 2.0 can do. Pedagogies, instructions and learning outcomes always come first.

Now back to Sacha’s presentation slides. Enjoy~
