Integrating online tools for learning into your lessons

1. Choose a partner to work with, as many web 2.0 tools are interactive and you won't really know how they work unless you can work with someone else to explore them.

2. Explore the Resources below and find one web 2.0 tool that you think you could use in your next or upcomming lesson and help your partner also find one.Take it in turns playing with each tool togeather until you both have one that you think you can use.

3. Imagine that you are communicating a short teaching tip to another teacher in your team who will be giving the same lesson as you. Create brief instructions about how to integrate this web 2.0 tool into the lesson you have in mind.

4. Share your tip on Wallwisher:

I have created a Wallwisher wall. It is a simple webpage where we all can post our messages easily. So simply go to http://www.wallwisher.com/wall/rdean6web20 and post your message there.
Happy Posting!

Extension: Use the template attached to create a formal lesson plan and share via your professional networks

Further Extension: Actually use your lesson plan with your class. Then perform some reflective practice (writing a blog as part of a professional network would be good).
