Web 2.0 - controlling the message

Susan from Online Ed. facilitated with me, Greg, from T3 on a category of Web 2.0 applications.

For a condensed audio podcast on Web 2.0 - check out what I presented at the international NCSPOD conference. An earlier post described the format and process of the GIFT presentation. I intended to present identical 8 minute teacher-fronted informative mini-lectures, but interesting things happened (Click on links to hear it). In the first session a mad torrent of information comes out. Pace and frequent mammoth embedded relative clauses obscure organization. In the second session the audience takes part guiding discussion, wikis get attention and themes such as the Guttenberg project and ESL or international students get treatment. In the final session, a great idea from another presenter (on recognizing faculty and sharing info) is mentioned and the focus is more on the philosophy of Web 2.0. Reviewing the audio has lead to some productive self-assessment.



Isn't the headgear a nice touch?
