Web 2.0 is the second generation of the Web. It facilitates creativity, collaboration and sharing among users through technologies such as RSS, social bookmarking, blogging and wikis as well as applications such as YouTube and Flickr. Simply defined, it is a Web platform based on sharing. |

This Website contains Tutorials on how to use various pieces of software, suggestions on how to use this software in the classroom, and links to ICT related resources. It is currently hosted on the FlaminBeads website in lieu of another suitable site. We will host this site on DET webspace in the future (hopefully by the end of 2009) when the Dept develops Learning Group websites. The development of this website was partly funded by Grafton Office of the NSWDET, a SNP grant and is sponsored by FlaminBeads I would like this site to be a collegiate site - ie not just my ideas, but contributions from other teachers. If you have tried anything in the classroom you were pleased with, please write it up and email to me and I will put it up - with full credit to the contributing teacher. If you have any suggestions for improvement, requests for tutorials or classroom ideas, etc, please feel free to contact me at donald.nethercott@det.nsw.edu.au or nethercott@flaminbeads.com Don Nethercott |
