I recommend Jake's too but for what it's worth, you'd do well to check out <a href="http://eflclassroom.ning.com/Wpage/page/show?id=826870%3APage%3A68126">my professional development page</a>...lots of videos but also many links on many topics which would help teachers.<br />
<br />
Thanks to all the others who've offered places for me to scour!<br />

Hi,<br />
I created this wiki to teach a PD morning to our faculty.They each had their laptop and had a very successful intro to Web 2.0. The Common Craft videos were great. The whole program took about 2 1/2 hours. The only iffy thing was Delicious. Everyone tried to access it at the same time and it couldn't handle the traffic. Other wise, everything went very well.<br />

I have found that the Common Craft videos work great for presentations. When I present to adult audiences and show their videos, they respond. It makes it simple I think. I was presenting to a group and I was show about three of the CommonCraft videos. I gauged the audience to see they had seen enough of them and they wanted more... not the reponse that I expected.<br />

Hi Gerry - Lord knows we all need pd in 2.0. Just keep in mind the majority of your audience (probably) knows very little of 2.0, aka you may need to focus on one tool at a time in a 2 hour period. Baby steps for most part. Maybe, introduce the big picture of the most popular tools, then individual sessions for each tool. Good luck:-)

Each summer I work train teachers during four day summer workshops all over the state of Florida. There are so many resources out there, I believe it is better to share a handful and then work with teachers to create something they can use in their own classroom. By having teachers create their own wiki, blog, etc. they take ownership in it.<br />

Hi Gerry, We are in the second week of a nine week web 2.0 learning program called the 23 Things. It was started by Helene Blowers, a librarian in a public library who wanted to bring her staff up to speed quickly on all things Web 2.0. The program spread quickly and has been adopted and modified by many libraries and schools and organizations. We used the California School Library Assoc. version modified for teachers, called <a href="http://classroomlearning2.blogspot.com/">Classroom Learning…</a>
Hi Gerry, We are in the second week of a nine week web 2.0 learning program called the 23 Things. It was started by Helene Blowers, a librarian in a public library who wanted to bring her staff up to speed quickly on all things Web 2.0. The program spread quickly and has been adopted and modified by many libraries and schools and organizations. We used the California School Library Assoc. version modified for teachers, called <a href="http://classroomlearning2.blogspot.com/">Classroom Learning 2.O</a>. which we further modified for our own school to create <a href="http://moreauteachers.edublogs.org/">Moreau Learning Web 2.0</a><br />
<br />
The idea behind the program is that people learn by doing. Participants explore various 2.0 tools and blog about their experiences. The library team is providing lots individual hand holding and encouragement.<br />
<br />
We have been pretty blown away by the response we have had. We have 76 faculty, staff and administrators signed up and creating blogs and avatars. I think the success of the initiative has to do with timing. We are in the second year of a 1:1 laptop program, and people are ready to learn. Our goal is to expand horizons and have everyone become more comfortable online. It's also a lot of fun. Gerry,

2. Spend lots of time upfront on organizational issues. Web2.0 is an online world. Many teachers live offline and venture online when necessary. Make sure that teachers know how to use Firefox very well and explore the great productivity extensions (under addons/tabs @ mozzila.com). Much of Web2.0 resources are free. How will each teacher manage the avalanche of URLs, username and passwords?<br />
3. Get every teacher to build a blog ASAP. Blogs tend to be the anchor for our online class. It is a place for links, thoughts, reflections, and frustrations. I found that learning web2.0 tools is better when the teachers use a site and then embed their results back into their own blog (kind of an informal ePortfolio). The blogs are also useful for teachers to see and read each others.<br />

I would focus on wikis and blogs. Wikls are easy to implement and blogs can bring upper elementary writing to a different level. I would also touch on how the web has changed to a more collaborative tool. That's what I'm trying to do with my teachers.<br />

My principal has asked me to run 2 1.5 hour PD workshops for both the faculty in my school and one other in the district. i was also considering doing something like "Using Web 2.0 in the Classroom" in order to cover all grade ranges and content areas. We are a PreK-8 school. Any recommendations on what to focus on for this short workshop?
