Possible website to show:  foursquare.com    Didn't have a great deal of time to explore it, but is similar to twitter.  It kind of reminds of GPS and a locating device.  It gives your updates of where you are. 
 

Mcdonald, Linn 

Prezi - www.prezi.com A nice alternative to PowerPoint. The program is web-based and files are saved in the "cloud".
 
Embedr - www.embedr.com This is a free service that lets anyone create a custom playlist of videos from sites on the web. It is very easy to use. Each regular playlist can have up to 100 videos and each "smart" playlist can have up to 50 videos. Make as many playlists as you like. For example, teachers can use Embedr to show students YouTube videos on a topic without giving them the option to view other YouTube videos that are off topic. Here is an example of a web page with Embedr video playlists: http://www.district87.org/bjhs/embedr_video_playlists.htm

Web 1.0 vs. Web 2.0

----Collaborative, Definition, Web Technologies (CWT) Overview –
Collaboration
is a recursive process where two or more people or organizations work together in an intersection of common goals — for example, an intellectual endeavor[1][2] that is creative in nature[3]—by sharing knowledge, learning and building consensus. Most collaboration requires leadership, although the form of leadership can be social within a decentralized and egalitarian group.[4] In particular, teams that work collaboratively can obtain greater resources, recognition and reward when facing competition for finite resources.[5] Collaboration is also present in opposing goals exhibiting the notion of adversarial collaboration, though this is not a common case for using the term.

Collaborating for Students:

The Six Principles of e-Teaching are outlined below:
Integrate Technology:
Our students are Millennial Learners! The millennial generation has grown up with computers and other 21st century communications technologies; they are digital natives! They expect a high degree of technology integration. Be confident of your skills! View a student-produced video profile of today's millennial learners.

Lead with 'Hands-on" Activities...and Authentic Learning Experiences...Engage and Excite: Most Millennial students, do not like being lectured to. Instead, they are accustomed to multi-tasking, teamwork, collaboration and activity. Don't just tell (lecture) students; show them and lead them to discovery too!

Build 'Hard Skills' and also Academic Standards into Lesson Plans. Constructivist Lesson Plans, like the 6Es focus on the 'doing'.  This requires real skills to be demonstrated  Technology allows real-time tracking of student progress on skills and standards. Use e-Portfolios as a tool to connect student projects with lesson plans and the competencies and standards of learning required to succeed.


 
Involve Students as Assistants:  Encourage Them to Teach Others using technology.  They are technology "natives", as opposed to their teacher "immigrants" As teachers become facilitators, they escape the bottleneck position. And, retention soars as students teach each other.

Connect Students with the Real World via Nortel LearniT Career Bytes interviews: Technology allows students to breach the wall dividing school and the world of work.  This may include partnering with businesses to engage their workforce with educators.   This enables authentcity in learning.  In this mode, students may be empowered by being recognized as experts.

Showcase Student Work: Encourage them to document their findings and present their work. Finished projects can become components of Best Practices and models for others to learn from. Scientists publish; students and teachers can publish too!
