I'm using the Label Tool in Moodle to create this label to be able to highlight/feature some of my favorite YouTube videos for educators.
This is an excellent, thought-provoking video presentation created by Bob Sprankle for BLC09 entitled "Tear Down the Walls." What should 21st century schools look like? What would they look like if students designed them? The video is entertaining and engaging, and provides many talking points for considering ways to make learning more engaging for students! He challenges us to step outside the box and make our classrooms/schools a place where students want to bang on the doors early in the morning yelling "open up-let us in" rather than a place they're trying to escape. Are we up for the challenge?

Welcome to the Exploring Web 2.0 class. This site has been developed to assist others in acquiring knowledge about Web 2.0 topics. In essence, I would like you to learn something. This course was developed to be delivered to staff of the Peoria Unified School District. However, it will be made available to the world to use and learn.
Guiding principles about this course.
Discovery of new tools, new media, and new ways of working.
Being a learner in the 21st Century.
Collaboration and open discussion of ideas.
The learning should be participatory, active, and very much a "learn by doing" model.
The more a teacher learns about web2.0, the better the position they are in to work out how it might work in the classroom.
This a course under construction which will be provided to the GEOSS project for other teachers to utilize. The course is designed with two goals in mind 1. to provide sample resources about acceptable use and internet safety that could be utilized in the classroom, and 2. to provide additional resources for teachers looking to teach better research practices to their students. For more info just shoot Joe Thibault an email.
