Teachers who use independent reading, literature circles, or film discussion groups don't want to miss this class! Using Web 2.0 technology, this course will replace your tired reading journals with blogging and discussion threads using Blogspot and Shelfari. On day two, we'll move beyond just text to multi-media publishing tools such as bubbleply.com and teachertube.com for video, flickr.com and voicethread.com for images and voice-over, and mystudiyo.com for quizzes. Say goodbye to book projects, with this technology at your disposal, your students will be publishing and posting with ease and flair.
