In-Service Presentation

We presented a number of ideas in a short time, but I want to highlight a few of the tools we discussed.

Web 2.0 - focuses on user-generated content. Instead of people being consumers of content and information, they have become creators. In addition, there are several tools that have developed to help people collaborate. A few of the ones we touched on were wikis, blogs and podcasting. I have linked these to example mentioned in the presentation, which is embedded in this blog posting.

Atomic Learning - an online, video tutorial service which we subscribe to here at St. Anne's. There are videos on applications and programs ranging from the Web 2.0 tools mentioned above to iLife, iWork, Microsoft Office and Google applications among others.

Google Docs - which is written up in a previous posting; in addition, Glen mentioned Google Sites and Calendar. There are a number of other applications from Google, some of which are available to us through our St. Anne's accounts.

United Streaming - we do not currently subscribe to this service, but are looking into it. The Discovery Channel has uploaded videos geared to several age groups (K-2, 3-5, 6-8 and 9-12) and all curricular areas. As an individual you can sign up for a 30 day trial. Do not hesitate to see me if you have questions.

Social Bookmarking - we briefly touched on this topic. I wrote a posting for this blog, but have not posted it yet. I will post it and link it to this write up.

Library Technology Page - Glen and Terry have put in a significant amount of work to compile resources to help with the development of lesson plans and research. This link is specifically to the technology page, but the faculty and staff library page, linked here, provides a wealth of general information.
