I loved this presentation! The characters that interrupt the presentation really made it more interesting. This was the most memorable presentation at the 2007 conference.

Not only was it enjoyable, but I also found things I can use in my everyday life of teaching at school. I created a Wikispaces page last year for my class. I had linked it from my class, but I never really used it with my class. This was probably because I didn’t know how to use it well. My students only had access to computers for an hour a week in the computer lab. Next year, I will have 1 thin client computer for every 2 students in my classroom. I’ll be able to use the wiki to create tasks for students. I think I’m going to use our more effectively by placing tasks next to imbedded content with step-by-step instructions. I can “frame the content with support for learning the content all in close proximity.

I liked the structure and taxonomy Drew gave to teaching web 2.0 tools. Good idea to start with YouTube as a social network. We won’t be able to view YouTube videos on the thin clients, but we can use it on my laptop with the projector.

Interesting idea of using the keyboard shortcuts CtrlC & CtrlV to speed up cutting and pasting. It may help my students pick up faster how to cut/copy and paste.

I may try some screencasting next year. I followed Vinnie’s advice and downloaded Cam Studio, so I can do my own screencasting, just like Murph.

Murph did a great job of structuring a gradual introduction of Web 2.0 tools, but where did he get the structure? Did he make it up from his own experience, or did he get the ideas for the structure from somewhere else? He gives great examples of how apply each step, but has he used them? How does he know they work?
