Assessed Activity 4.1 - Improving Course Content

Today I have chosen the social technology (Twitter)  and made some changes to reflect my teaching and learning technologies.

Social networks include not only Facebook but blogs such as this one, Linkedin (I have one) and discussion forums. Tools such as these are often referred to as Classroom 2.0 - derived from the term Web 2.0. What is Classroom 2.0 I hear you asking.

Classroom 2.0 is, information you want delivered to you for your convenience (Putnam, 2008). I see this as having my links (URL's) added to one page so I can access these easily. I can also add, with the correct software a podcast with a link for followers to click on and see.

Wikis are good for this too and if you read my blogs you will see a link to my Wiki page (updated weekly) http://wikieducator.org/User:GJHarvey

I have edited a Wiki page, adding a link to a beginners tutorial on how to use Twitter and some information in regards to Twitter.
