The Great Web 2.0 Face-Off Post-Game Show
Web 2.0 tools are all the rage, but how do they boost learning? That was the key question facing two teams of exemplary educators as they faced off at Super Conference 2011 and again at the Educational Computing Organization of Ontario’s fall conference, hosted by today’s presenter. During three jam-packed periods of play, the teams shared their best ideas for using Web 2.0 tools to optimize student learning. Expert analysts connected the teams’ ideas to powerful pedagogy in the intermissions and post-game shows.
This session looks back at the highlights of both games. We’ll have a look at the top web apps advocated by the teams for how they boost learning. Most importantly, we’ll look at how to match technology to great pedagogy, moving beyond novelty and flash to empowering learning.
