Affordable Summer Learning Online: K12 Learning 2.0 Course

Hi, All -
Registration is now open for the summer session of the online course: *K12
Learning 2.0: Tools for 21st Century Teaching & Learning.*

The next "K12 Learning 2.0" course will begin on *June 1, 2010*. The cours=
e
is delivered completely online in ten weekly installments.

This self-guided course is designed to provide educators with an
introductory, but "hands-on" exploration and experience with some common
tools and concepts related to Web 2.0. Weekly course topics include blogs,
wikis, RSS, podcasts, social bookmarking, social networking, tagging, photo
sharing, online office applications, personal start pages and more. The
course is challenging, but worthwhile. More than 350 educators have
completed the course thus far. This will be its 8th session.

Each school group will need a technology coach/cheerleader to support the
experience at his or her school. That person must commit to helping teacher=
s
as needed, monitoring participants' progress and reading and commenting on
their blogs. (I am willing/able to serve as stand in coach for a few
individuals).

The course is approved for 3 PLU / 30 hours for Georgia educators, but many
participants from other states have completed the course for credit as well=
,
according to the rules/guidelines for their school or state. Individuals ar=
e
also welcome to participate without seeking formal credit.

*The course fee is $60.*

To learn more, please visit the course wiki site, which contains a full
description, FAQ, and outline of course activities.

4*,*2010
*. Instructions are on the site.

Please forward to any colleagues you feel might have interest and please
email me if you have questions.

Thanks,
