Classroom 2.0

Posted by Kenneth Ronkowitz on


Do we need to start teaching digital citizenship? It's a question I found being discussed at Classroom 2.0 - a relatively new social networking site for people interested in the application of Web 2.0 and collaborative technologies in learning.

There's no shortage of social net or Web 2.0 sites out there, but you won't find that many that are devoted to educators.

The site is very beginner-friendly with pages on how to use forums, start new topics etc. and the introductory forum message. There's also a wiki being built there, videos, groups and photos.

And as with any good social net site, you should find good links and other sites by navigating through th sections. I found a UbD wiki (UbD is the acronym given to Grant Wiggins and Jay McTighe's approach to curriculum design as outlined in Understanding by Design)

I joined and posted my first discussion starter about our "End of the Essay" series, so let's see what develops there.
