Welcome to the Addlestone Thursday@3 Web 2.0 Instruction Wiki
Workshops Introducing Practical, Useful and Free Web 2.0 Tools for Personal Productivity and Collaborative Learning.
The Addlestone sessions for Fall 08 and Spring 09 are a substantial departure from our past stand-alone PowerPoint, Excel, and web editing sessions. This semester we will explore specific Web 2.0 technologies that integrate thematically, transforming social media into tools for teaching, collaborative learning and personal productivity.
Topics for the sessions include blogs, wikis, social networks, social bookmarking tools, podcasts, RSS, micro-blogging, photo sharing and video-sharing sites. These tools and resources offer new, accessible and flexible ways to learn, teach, and interact socially anywhere, anytime.
Online definitions of the Web 2.0 concept can be found at:
In these initial sessions we are aiming for “a practical exposure” to web 2.0 concepts and applications. All sessions (unless otherwise indicated) will be offered at 3pm on scheduled Thursdays throughout the semester.
