  Hi Bud!

  A nice, brief, chock-full-of-good-ideas introduction is Kathy Cassidy’s presentation: Using Web 2.0 Tools in a Grade One Classroom; from K12 Online 2006:

  http://k12onlineconference.org/?p=39

  It’s only 8 minutes long and will give someone new to all this a lot to chew on. Kathy is very direct and to the point about what she does and how she does it.

  For a little more depth, and keeping in mind that too many tools may be overwhelming, I’d recommend Mark Wagner’s presentation: “Blog if You Love Learning: An Introduction to Weblogs in Education (Basic)”. It’s full of many concrete examples of various ways teachers are using blogs with their students and for themselves. Also from K12 Online 2006:

  Mark has a very engaging presentation style, it’s in the spirit of Alton Brown from the Food Network.

  If they want more, I’d suggest Chris Harbeck’s presentation from K12 Online 2007: “Release the Hounds”. Divided into short digestible pieces, this may be a “gateway” presentation into a host of web 2.0 tools and a mash-up of ways they can be used in the classroom:

  Hope that helps.

  Cheers,

  Bud:

  Your blog thought my comment had too many links (I think) so I posted an answer for you here:

  Hello. She may find my blog/podcast interesting since it is a collection of ways that I use Web 2.0 in my 8th grade American history classroom. Here is the URL : http://www.speakingofhistory.blogspot.com

  I have also recently presented several times on the variety of Web 2.0 tools I use with my students. I recorded the session I presented last month at the national social studies conference in San Diego and is available as a podcast : http://www.quia.com/quiz/1209192.html and a UStream video: http://speakingofhistory.blogspot.com/2007/11/nccs-presentation-using-web-20-in.html

  Thanks.

  i just want to remind ye teachers what you are fighting for. i carved out a sense of self in school because of you folks. when the line dips in the yearly graph for energy and commitment to the classroom, remember what i say: teachers were my parents growing up. school was my sanctuary. i’m remembering those days with images and words here. come by to get rejuvenated.

  Just came across this blog post and wanted to share (I realize I’m a little late responding but finally have time to catch up on aggregator).
  Larry Ferlazzo’s Best Social Studies links at http://tinyurl.com/38yumt
  This link really is a wealth of resources – definitely worth passing along to the HS teacher.

  Hi Bud -
  I am catching up on my blog reading and saw your question. I teach Social Studies at Totino-Grace High School and designed a presentation for the K12 Online Conference this year, part of the Web 2.0 strand. The presentation is called: “If All My Classes Did This” http://k12onlineconference.org/?p=175 I share tools I have used in my History and Government classes. I hope your colleague finds it helpful. Wendy
