Educational tools of Web 2.0 like Flickr, Delicious, and Bubbleshare can expand curriculum by supporting a new collaborative learning environment. Web 2.0 represents a shift from static to social web where users can create and share knowledge. Common Web 2.0 tools for classrooms include social bookmarking sites to share research bookmarks, photo sharing sites to post presentations, and wikis or blogs for collaborative document writing and discussion.
This document provides an overview of a virtual learning environment (VLE) and its uses at the London School of Economics. The VLE, WebCT, is used across most departments and contains course materials like readings, multimedia content, and communication tools. Staff and students have responded positively to features that enhance learning and engagement like discussion boards. WebCT allows various types of content, communication, and assessment to be delivered online to create a better learning environment.
Blogs and wikis can be used to differentiate instruction by allowing students to communicate outside of the classroom, collaborate on projects, and publish examples of work. Both tools allow for instant publishing and free or low-cost use. While blogs are more linear and directed, wikis are more collaborative and dynamic. Popular wikis include Wikipedia and Wikispecies. Teachers can use blogs to provide materials and Q&A sessions and wikis for group projects and collaborative works. RSS feeds allow users to aggregate news and updates from blogs and other sources.

My keynote presentation for the CNIE 2010 conference in Saint John, New Brunswick on May 18, 2010.
The presentation was titled "Knock Down the Walls: Designing for Open/Networked Learning"
Web 1.0 allowed users to only read information on the internet through search engines like Google. It was described as a "read-only" web. Web 2.0 introduced new ways for users to interact with information by commenting, posting, uploading, and sharing content on sites like Facebook, Wikipedia, YouTube, and eBay. It transformed the web into a "read-write" platform. Web 3.0, also called the Semantic Web, will allow machines to better understand web pages like humans by turning the web into a large, connected database through common standards and identifiers.
PLEs are based on the idea that learning occurs across different contexts through engagement with a distributed network of people, services and resources, not just from a single source. They allow for recognition of informal learning. Effective PLEs and PLNs connect learners to global learning resources and networks through use of social media and Web 2.0 tools to facilitate immersive, interest-driven learning.
The document discusses social learning communities and their benefits. It presents 3 key theses: (1) knowledge is best created through communities rather than individual knowledge management, (2) meaningful learning occurs through sharing knowledge within concrete social structures, and (3) collaboration allows the most natural way to create knowledge. Examples of how communities can form on an ESN platform to share content, learn together, and document best practices are provided. While the ESN platform Connections provides many useful tools, the document suggests chat functionality, virtual classrooms, and AI integration could further enhance social learning communities.
This document summarizes a study on deploying social software like blogs in distance learning environments. It found that while blogs provided benefits like facilitating reflective practice and community, students struggled with finding purpose for blogging and tensions between private and public sharing. Only 20-30% of students blogged regularly, with 50% not blogging at all, similar to other studies. Students had pragmatic concerns about time and assessment that influenced tool use. Understanding blogs as a genre and negotiating their purpose and context of use is important for adoption in educational settings.
The document discusses blogs, wikis, and podcasts as language learning resources. It provides an overview of each tool, including definitions, examples of how they can be used for language teaching, and steps to implement them in the classroom. Blogs allow for diary entries, reactions to class topics, and interaction between students. Wikis enable collaborative writing and provide a non-linear structure. Podcasts make audio files accessible for listening and language practice. The document explores advantages and considerations for using each tool and provides example platforms.
This document discusses the differences between Web 1.0 and Web 2.0 environments and their implications for learning and teaching. Web 2.0 is defined as a generation of internet services based on interactivity and user-generated content that flows in multiple directions and is widely shared. It facilitates three facets of learning 2.0: open design, open source, and social communications. This represents a paradigm shift from traditional learning to a model of constructing meaning through collaboration using Web 2.0 tools in a community of inquirers.
Web 2.0 technologies allow for new approaches to learning and teaching such as creating and sharing work, collecting and remixing content from different sources, and collaborating with others globally. Learners can take advantage of opportunities for discovery through searching, building on previous work, and serendipitous findings, potentially forming learning networks with peers before even joining a course. Institutions may need to facilitate these learner-driven networks rather than solely providing traditional courses.
The document discusses the concepts of Web 2.0 and social networking, and how they can be used in education. It defines Web 2.0 as communities that facilitate user-generated content and sharing. Social networking involves online communities where people share interests. The document argues that these tools engage students and support collaboration. It provides examples of blogs, wikis, podcasts, and other Web 2.0 tools that teachers can use to connect with students and enhance learning.
The document discusses various Web 2.0 tools that can be used in classrooms, including blogs, wikis, podcasts, and social networking/bookmarking. It provides examples of how teachers have integrated these tools into their curriculum to engage students and encourage collaboration. Real-world skills like problem-solving are developed through these interactive digital platforms.
This document discusses Padlet, a free web-based tool that allows users to create virtual walls for collaboration. Padlet walls can be used by teachers and students to post assignments, provide feedback, display examples, and conduct formative assessments. Students can use Padlet for collaboration, creation, discussion boards, portfolios, notes, and more. Padlet is easy to use, supports multiple devices, and walls can be embedded or exported in different formats. Experts say Padlet encourages participation and engagement by allowing all students to contribute and learn from each other.

This document discusses blogs, wikis, and podcasts and provides information on how to create and use them. It defines blogs as easily created and updated webpages for ongoing writing. Wikis allow users to collaboratively edit content on a website. Podcasts are digital audio files that can be created and shared, and require a microphone, recording/editing software, and hosting on a website. Examples of using these tools for a school library include podcasts for story times, research help, and archiving lectures. The document recommends free hosting sites for wikis and podcasting tutorials.
The document discusses using wikis for educational purposes. It provides an overview of what wikis are, key principles of wikis like collaboration and sharing, and educational applications of wikis such as for collaborative writing projects and organizing course materials. It also addresses concerns about wikis, such as security and ease of use, and provides examples of educational wikis and online resources for learning how to use wikis.
The document discusses online collaboration and communication tools enabled by Web 2.0. It defines Web 1.0 as the passive consumption of information on the web, while Web 2.0 allows users to actively create and share content. Examples of Web 2.0 tools mentioned include wikis, blogs, social networking sites, photo sharing, video sharing, social bookmarking, and collaborative documents which enable new ways of online collaboration, participation, and learning. The document also discusses concepts like folksonomies, RSS feeds, and personal learning spaces which facilitate information sharing and access to updated content.
The document discusses the potential of networked learning and open educational resources. It notes that tools like social media may transform research, teaching, and service for academics if they build serious lives online. Key ideas discussed include openness, connections, crowdsourcing content, and real-time collaboration. The document suggests moving learning spaces online and focusing pedagogy on interactions over content. Educators are encouraged to explore social tools, personal learning networks, and take charge of their own ongoing development.

Similar to Web 2.0 Consider the Possibilities (20)
The document discusses the importance of joy, play, and fun in learning. It references several studies and experts that found joyful and playful learning to be more effective, humane, and child-appropriate than rigid, outcomes-focused education. The document suggests that creating fun videos or projects with students, even if just for the joy of it, can have educational benefits and help students develop important skills despite not being tied to strict curricular outcomes. It questions whether teachers will be remembered for their ability to foster joy in learning or merely their expectations and standards.
The document discusses several dichotomies in education such as procedural vs conceptual learning in math, protecting students vs giving them freedom, efficiency vs delight, and focusing on weaknesses vs strengths. It suggests that the answer to these issues is often "both" and highlights the importance of balancing different priorities in education to best serve students. Several images and quotes are included that discuss cultivating joy in learning, preparing students for unknown future problems, and investing in student strengths.
The document discusses how new communication tools have changed storytelling and enabled new forms of sharing stories and information through hashtags, memes, remixes, and other creative works. It suggests curriculum should focus more on student creation using these tools rather than just consumption, and that students should document and show their learning through video, slides, and other multimedia instead of just paper. Fostering creativity through remixing, storifying, and memes can unleash new forms of learning. Going through education without creating videos would be like going without writing. Play and imagination are important for helping students make sense of constant change. Failure in experimenting with possibilities provides valuable learning. Short, creative works like six-word stories show powerful ideas can
The document discusses how leadership has changed over time and ways leadership can impact culture. It suggests leadership has shifted from a top-down model to being more collaborative and empowering others. Several speakers share ideas like intentionally showing vulnerability, building relationships over just sharing information, focusing on gratitude, and making the workplace a place people want to be through small acts of positivity. The overall message is that leadership should focus on empowering others and building an open, supportive culture through both words and actions.

This document summarizes the keynote presentation "What's Your Unfair Advantage?" given by Dean Shareski at the ConnectED 2015 conference in Niagara Falls, Ontario. The presentation discusses how teaching is an art rather than just content delivery. It encourages teachers to find their "unfair advantage," such as being an interesting person or caring deeply for students, to excel and feel fulfilled in their work. A number of teachers from across Canada are then profiled who exemplify bringing passion and care to their teaching practice.
This document summarizes Dean Shareski's presentation titled "Whatever Happened to Joy?" at the Convergence 2015 conference in Raleigh, NC on April 8, 2015. The presentation discusses creating a joyful learning environment for students and questions whether joy should be measured as an important part of education. It also addresses challenges in prioritizing joy over standardized test scores and curriculum standards.
This document summarizes Dean Shareski's presentation at the Convergence 2015 conference in Raleigh, NC on April 8, 2015. The presentation focused on rethinking digital citizenship and covered topics such as mapping personal internet usage, establishing an online presence through owning a domain name, engaging in civil discourse online, evaluating the credibility of information found online, understanding privacy and information flows on social media, and maintaining a private versus public online identity. Key guidelines discussed for becoming a digital citizen included establishing an online home, making contributions online, and engaging in moral and civic responsibilities on the internet.
The document discusses the changing landscape of education and the classroom of the future. It notes that there is more access to information than ever before through technology, which is both an opportunity and disruption for schools.

This time, we're diving into the murky waters of the Fuxnet malware, a brainchild of the illustrious Blackjack hacking group.
Let's set the scene: Moscow, a city unsuspectingly going about its business, unaware that it's about to be the star of Blackjack's latest production. The method? Oh, nothing too fancy, just the classic "let's potentially disable sensor-gateways" move.
In a move of unparalleled transparency, Blackjack decides to broadcast their cyber conquests on ruexfil.com. Because nothing screams "covert operation" like a public display of your hacking prowess, complete with screenshots for the visually inclined.
Ah, but here's where the plot thickens: the initial claim of 2,659 sensor-gateways laid to waste? A slight exaggeration, it seems. The actual tally? A little over 500. It's akin to declaring world domination and then barely managing to annex your backyard.
For Blackjack, ever the dramatists, hint at a sequel, suggesting the JSON files were merely a teaser of the chaos yet to come. Because what's a cyberattack without a hint of sequel bait, teasing audiences with the promise of more digital destruction?
-------
This document presents a comprehensive analysis of the Fuxnet malware, attributed to the Blackjack hacking group, which has reportedly targeted infrastructure. The analysis delves into various aspects of the malware, including its technical specifications, impact on systems, defense mechanisms, propagation methods, targets, and the motivations behind its deployment. By examining these facets, the document aims to provide a detailed overview of Fuxnet's capabilities and its implications for cybersecurity.
The document offers a qualitative summary of the Fuxnet malware, based on the information publicly shared by the attackers and analyzed by cybersecurity experts. This analysis is invaluable for security professionals, IT specialists, and stakeholders in various industries, as it not only sheds light on the technical intricacies of a sophisticated cyber threat but also emphasizes the importance of robust cybersecurity measures in safeguarding critical infrastructure against emerging threats. Through this detailed examination, the document contributes to the broader understanding of cyber warfare tactics and enhances the preparedness of organizations to defend against similar attacks in the future.
