Introducing Learning 2.0

Dear Colleagues,

The Learning Technology team invite you over the next two terms to participate in our exciting discovery program, Learning 2.0.

Learning 2.0 is a simple and fun way to discover more about the wide array of Web 2.0 or “read-write web” tools now available on the Internet. Don’t know what Web 2.0 tools are? No idea how to use them? Then Learning 2.0 is for you.

As a special incentive, St. Michael’s staff who complete all ten activities in Learning 2.0 will earn for their class an mp3 player with built-in
voice recorder. This also applies to non-teaching staff – teachers’ aides,
for example, could still make use of one in their work with children.

Learning 2.0 officially launches next Monday, 30 April. Take the time from Monday onwards to look at the first activity, then get started on Activity 2 when it’s up and running and get yourself registered. Remember that you have two whole terms to complete ten simple activities, so you have plenty of time to get involved and complete the activities.

This term, Multimedia Monday sessions will be open-library sessions. The library will be open, and Robert and Judy will be on hand to provide support to people who need advice with their Learning 2.0 activity, wherever they’re up to.

We invite you to participate in Learning 2.0, and use the library computers on Monday afternoons to complete your activities. That way, you also have your colleagues around to share ideas and ask questions.

The library will be open for Learning 2.0 business on the following Multimedia Mondays:

30 April (Week 2) – take this chance to learn about Learning 2.0 and complete Activity 1

7 May (Week 3)

21 May (Week 5)

28 May (Week 6)

Week 4 is not included as it is a Staff Development Day.

 
We look forward to you joining us on the Learning 2.0 journey.
