Classroom 2.0- Webinar Reflection

Classroom 2.0 Logo from website

    Classroom 2.0 was started in 2007 by Steve Hargadon. This site was designed for individuals to develop a better sense of identity of Web 2.0 technologies. Classroom 2.0 connects people from over 188 countries worldwide and is free to the general public. On this website, there are several webinars that students and teachers can access that provide information on different technology concepts. You can also share links and connect with others around the world.
    Classroom 2.0 is a very helpful site for teachers because it provides tools to teachers who may not know much about technology. They can then talk to other educators, discuss ideas, and even share bookmarks and links with one another. I believe this site would be a great site for me to use when I become a teacher because if I ever had any trouble, I could simply ask another person online for suggestions.
    This site uses ISTE- NETS T standards 3 and 5; it models digital age work and learning and allows teachers to engage in professional growth and leadership by connecting with other educators.
     An example of a Classroom 2.0 webinar is located below.
     I listened to an audio recording of a Classroom 2.0 webinar by David Truss on the website that provided the general public with information on digital tools and how to incorporate inquiry based learning into the classroom. This webinar helped me realize how many different tools there are in the digital world to use in the classroom. As teachers, it is our job to make sure we know about these tools so we can help students learn technological methods. I believe these webinar videos can help teachers decide what to incorporate into their own classrooms, and they can get more ideas.
