In preparing for my upcoming workshops, I have been doing some research on the individual topics. Here is a link to the
flyers for the workshops. Although the topics of the workshop are fairly distinct, I began to notice that there were a handful of key terms that kept jumping into my mind. The workshop topics include Blogs & Wikis, Moodle, Digital Citizenship, e-Portfolios, and Right Brain & Flat World. I have also been gathering information on the new
ISTE NETS (student technology standards) and
21st Century Skills. The terms that kept coming to mind were communicate, collaborate, produce, publish, and audience. I plan to incorperate these five terms into each of the workshops. It will be interesting to see what people think if they are able to attend multiple sessions. There is great power in these words when tied to web 2.0 tools and put in the hands of students.
