Many new and powerful tools are appearing under the umbrella of Web 2.0 - blogging, Voicethread, wikis, Google Docs, and more. The problem is how do teachers find time in their busy days to explore all these tools in depth, with a knowledgable trainer nearby? This session, would provide hands-on opportunities tailored to individual attendee interests. Conducted so that each participant can drop in whenever they wish throughout the day, the presenters would work one-on-one or with small groups interested in a specific tool. For example, if 10 persons wish to spend an hour learning to make and share Google Maps, one of the presenters would work with them as a group. Meanwhile, another person may only wish to spend a half-hour learning about Voicethreads -still another a half-hour on creating a wiki. The other presenter would spend time helping those individuals. During down times, the presenters might share some emerging Web 2.0 tools, including Kerpoof (digital storytelling), TeacherTube, and others that seem of interest to attendees.

This wiki will be constructed by the workshop leaders during each session. It is intended to be a "virtual handout" that can be accessed from anywhere after the conference.

=We have updated the wiki with resources presented during our sessions. We are still adding content, and you should feel free to do so as well! Just find the page you want then press the "Edit this page" button above and start typing! =
