SOCIAL BOOKMARKING

Description: Social Bookmarking tools are your own personal library on the Internet that is accessible from any computer anytime. Why rewrite (digital or not) what someone else has already written about. It makes more sense to just point to the original story/site and add descriptions and tags for future reference? And these organized lists of links are then available to anyone from any browser or any computer

COLLABORATIVE DOCUMENTS AND SPREADSHEETS

Learn to collaborate with your colleagues and others using Google products. Google is a search engine and so much more!! There are a wide variety of services offered by Google that are free and ready to use. All you need to know is where they are, how to use them and, if you're going to collaborate, how to share. This workshop will detail Google Docs & Spreadsheets, iGoogle, Analytics, Pages, Calendar and other "goodies" in the Google Lab.

The twist here, of course, is that Classroom 2.0 is a network for teachers (yes, adults, those sometimes called "digital immigrants!) who are interested in the use of Web 2.0 in the classroom and who are using the site for personal professional development. The ability to have productive, engaging dialog with others in a community is a natural fit for all ages in education.
