Session+1

In this session, we will compare three types of blogging sites-- Wikispaces, Moodle, and Edmodo-- and learn how to set each one up.
 * Session 1: Social Media (January 9, 2012) **

The assignment will be to read and respond to the following articles from // Educational Leadership //, March 2009, Volume 66, No. 6: [|Cyberbulling: A Legal Review], [|Becoming Network Wise] , and [|R U Safe:]


 * What do you see as the greatest benefits of the new Web 2.0 technologies? How have you used technology to transform your teaching?


 * On the flip side, what do see as the greatest pitfalls of the new media? What might educators do to mitigate some of these problems?


 * What do you think educators most need to know to navigate the new digital landscape? What technological skills are necessary? How can teachers build the skills and knowledge

Participants will also create a Wikispaces account and possibly post an assignment for their students.
