Studies of Asia – Melbourne, May 2012

Blogs, rich media, embeds, social networking, podcasts, and RSS?

Whatever happened to just “the Internet” and when did “Web 1” pass its use-by date?

This hands on workshop is designed as an engaging and friendly exploration of Web 2.0 technologies to support authentic global learning. You will leave with materials ready to use in class with your students. Discover how easily you can access the latest news and opinions on subjects of your interest, quickly embed compelling videos into your classroom activities and engage students in a culture of critical thinking and self-initiated learning. Web 2.0 puts real, rich and relevant learning experiences right at your fingertips and into the hands of your students.

Participants, welcome! Please go to the Workshop sub-site to begin our activities.

  • Dan Cagle’s collection of political cartoons
  • 10×10 – Every hour, 10×10 collects the 100 words and pictures that matter most on a global scale, and presents them as a single image, taken to encapsulate that moment in time.
