Happy New Year to everyone! I have noticed postings recently promoting
conferences and workshops, so I hope it is appropriate to share this course
announcement with the list.

*K12 Learning 2.0: Tools for 21st Century Teaching & Learning*
*
*
The next K12 Learning 2.0 course will begin on *February 8, 2010*. The
course is delivered completely online in ten weekly installments.
This self-guided course is designed to provide classroom teachers and other
school personnel 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 300 educators have completed the course thus far. This will be it=
s
7th 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.
