Wonderful World of the Web... 2.0

Little did I realize that the internet had evolved right in front of my eyes from read only to a read/write function… it wasn’t only until my eyes were opened in our tutorial that I know realize that our options as teachers are boundless…   

We need to rethink our roles as teachers and as Richardson suggests, break free from the traditional teaching pedagogies and jump into the e-resources that await us… Not only do children read and write now but also they are editors and collaborators… Students can create, collaborate, publish, and make connections with the wide audience of our online community. The inevitability of technology in the classroom is real and as teachers we need to ‘download’ a new methodologies to teaching, but how? ‘Let’s Google it’!!
