<p>Public schools are under attack. Who is telling the story of your school or district? We have come to the conclusion that it is up to us to tell the great things happening in our school. We have decided not to sit back and let someone else tell our story.

<p>Web2.0ERC <a href="http://www.web20erc.eu/">http://www.web20erc.eu/</a> is an European Union education project to help educators who find ICT and Web2.0 confusing and difficult to access.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The project has built a simple web site and a set of the most popular tools (Wikis, Blogs, communications, Social Networking etc.) with clear guides on:</p>
<ul>
<li>How to use the tools</li>
<li>How they can be used in education</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p>The project is providing a simple and secure environment to use ICT for educators in their work and in their classes. The project is also looking at other Web 2.0 tools that can be used to create content, share the content and communicate.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Web2.0ERC platform <a href="http://www.web20erc.eu/">http://www.web20erc.eu/</a> has been piloted with educators at every level and is now open for exclusive use by educators. On the platform you will find guides, videos and examples of how the platform can be used autonomously. You can register on the platform at: <a href="http://platform.web20erc.eu/login/index.php">http://platform.web20erc.eu/login/index.php</a></p>
<p> </p>
<p>To ensure only genuine educators use the platform to make courses a verification process will take place:</p>
<p>1. Register on the platform (create account).</p>
<p>2. ‘Apply for teacher privileges’ from the <b>Help</b>menu (complete the brief form)</p>
<p>3. You will receive an email when approved</p>
<p>4. You will see the, ‘Create a course wizard’ in the <b>Courses</b>menu.</p>
<p>It is highly recommended that you read the Help for teachers in the Help menu as there will be no additional support.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In addition, a large number of resources on the use of Web2.0 tools in education have been gathered and are available on the website. These include video tutorials, academic papers, best practices, case studies and use case scenarios, and user contributed ideas (see <a href="http://www.web20erc.eu/deliverables">http://www.web20erc.eu/deliverables</a> )</p>

<p>Das europäische Web2.0ERC Projekt (<a href="http://www.web20erc.eu/">http://www.web20erc.eu/</a>) möchte PädagogInnen weiterhelfen, die sich mit neuen Informationstechnologien und Web 2.0 Werkzeugen schwer tun - damit sie einen guten Einstieg finden.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Das Projekt hat eine einfache Internetplattform aufgebaut, die die beliebtesten Web 2.0 Werkzeuge beinhaltet: Wikis, Blogs, Kommunikationswerkzeuge, Social Networking, etc.. Tutorials helfen am Anfang und liefern Ideen, wie man die Werkzeuge im Unterricht einbauen kann.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Das Internetmodul bietet einen geschützten Zugang und kann direkt für die Arbeit in der Schule benutzt werden. Gleichzeitig möchte das Projekt auf weitere Web 2.0 Werkzeuge verweisen, mit denen man Inhalt erzeugen und teilen kann, sich aber auch mit anderen KollegInnen verbinden kann.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Web2.0ERC Internetplattform wurde von PädagogInnen aus unterschiedlichen Bildungsbereichen ausführlich getestet und kann jetzt exklusiv im Bildungsbereich benutzt werden. Tutorials, Videos und Beispiele können selbstständig benutzt werden. Einen zusätzlichen Support gibt es nicht. Hier geht es direkt zur Plattform: <a href="http://platform.web20erc.eu/login/index.php">http://platform.web20erc.eu/login/index.php</a>. Die Sammlung von weiteren Web2.0</p>

<p>I am trying to get my head around various web 2.0 technologies that can and are being used very effectively and creatively by you all to enhance learning in the classroom. There are a number of tools, for blogging, making wikis, RSS feeds, communication, social networking, and so on. You know better than I! Although I and can see their value I am overwhelmed by two things at the moment and, to avoid reinventing the wheel, I would welcome a helping hand, please:</p>

<p>I am trying to get my head around various web 2.0 technologies that can and are being used very effectively and creatively by you all to enhance learning in the classroom. There are a number of tools, for blogging, making wikis, RSS feeds, communication, social networking, and so on. You know better than I! Although I and can see their value I am overwhelmed by two things at the moment and, to avoid reinventing the wheel, I would welcome a helping hand, please:</p>
<p><br/>1. Web 2.0 Tools - Blog, Wiki, Social bookmarking, Social networking, ....There is such a vast array of choices. Some are dedicated purely to one aspect. For example, Wikispaces is just a Wiki, Edublog is just for blogging. With other products there are varying degress of overlap and some combine many tools into one product, like Ning and Gaggle. My question, in short is, what is the best solution - separate tools or an integrated product? How have you addressed this issue yourself?</p>
<p><br/>2. Effective Classroom practice. As I get to grips with the various tools and I also wrestling with how each tool can be dovetailed into everyday classroom practice to enhance learning. That will clearly be an ongoing process and I know I have a steep learning curve ahead of me. Any specific examples would be most welcome. For example, I found the Wiki Walkthrough <a href="http://www.teachersfirst.com/content/wiki/">http://www.teachersfirst.com/content/wiki/</a> on Teachernet to be really excellent.</p> Voki : a fun and free animated avatar tool for educatorstag:www.classroom20.com,2011-09-24:649749:Topic:7546362011-09-24T20:21:02.514ZMed Kharbachhttps://www.classroom20.com/profile/MedKharbach
