Download as PPT, PDF1 like1,535 views
The document discusses the concept of Education 2.0, emphasizing the use of Web 2.0 tools in teaching, such as blogs, wikis, and screencasts, to enhance student engagement and learning. It also explores the principle of 'highest and best use' in educational contexts, urging educators to prioritize their time and methods based on their objectives. Additionally, it highlights innovative teaching methods and resources, including collaborative platforms and open data, to improve the educational experience in higher education settings.
Education 2.0: Leveraging Collaborative Tools for Teaching
- 1. Education 2.0: Leveraging Collaborative Tools for Teaching Jean-Claude Bradley E-Learning Coordinator College of Arts and Sciences Associate Professor of Chemistry Drexel University March 25, 2010 E-Learning 2.0 Conference at Drexel University
- 2. Education 2.0 Web 2.0 Tools Applied to Education A Web 2.0 site allows its users to interact with other users or to change website content, in contrast to non-interactive websites where users are limited to the passive viewing of information that is provided to them.
- 3. So many tools … so little time blogs free online textbooks recorded lectures (e.g. podcasts, screencasts, videos) wikis CMS (e.g. Blackboard) free course content (e.g. OpenCourseWare) clickers games virtual worlds (e.g. Second Life)
- 4. Principle of Highest and Best Use Highest and best use is a concept in real estate appraisal. It states that the value of a property is directly related to the use of that property. This use, the Highest and Best Use, may or may not be the current use of the property.
- 5. What is the best use of your time as a teacher? Lecturing? Manual grading? Discussion groups? Posting to a blog? Motivating? What are your objectives? Increasing the baseline understanding of the average student? Helping the best students actualize their potential?
- 6. Screencasting: easy solution for recording lectures
- 7. CHEM 241 89 students CHEM 243 64 students Natural migration from F2F to screencast/podcast channels
- 8. Best use of Class Time Mainly repeating lectures Mainly workshops One-on-one mentoring Doing problems Games
- 9. Wikis A wiki is a website that allows the easy creation and editing of any number of interlinked web pages via a web browser using a simplified markup language or a WYSIWYG text editor.
