REGISTER TODAY for this NEW WEB Conference!

 Put A Blog on the Fire! Light That Wiki!
with Anita Brooks Kirkland from the Waterloo Region District School
Board
________________________


This is an overview session for educators who have not had time to
explore some of the new internet technologies and tools that have the
potential to profoundly change the learning landscape as we know it
today.

Do you know about wikis, podcasting, blogging? These terms, while
unfamiliar to us, are everyday language for most of the students in our
classrooms. We are progressing into a virtual social networking
environment made possible by the ever-increasing development of new
on-line collaboration tools which are used for communication by our
students, but have good potential as teaching and learning tools also.
This session will begin to spark your curiosity, and begin to build your
knowledge and skill in this new world.

When
Tuesday, MAR 20
4 PM ET   1 PM PT
1 hour - Web Conference

This session is Part One of a series of three whose titles follow. Each
one does stand alone, and it is not necessary to take all three parts.

· Part Two: Monday April 23. Wikipedia: Students Use it - How Are We As
Educators Embracing it?
· Part Three: Thursday, May 31. It's a Web 2.0 World! How Will This
Impact Our School Library Program?
