The Guidance Office and Web 2.0 School counselors need to communicate with students and parents of the 21st Century in ways students are comfortable. ||  || This video describes Web 2.0, Wikis, Blogs, Podcasting, Social Networking and also discusses the issue of schools banning student use of their personal electronics and offers a few suggestions on how to productively use these technologies. || Toni, Your video gave a clear explanation of Web 2.0. I like that you explained how to create each of the various features, and connected them to both classroom and professional development use. Thanks for the Wordle tip too! - Jared

Toni, you used great sites and images in the presentation. I particularly enjoyed learning about podcasts. I knew they could be downloaded for personal use, but never thoughts students could actually create them! I also appreciated your suggestions for integrating technology in the classroom, instead of being consumed by a fear of cheating. -Emily

Toni, I hope you will be given an opportunity to share this video with colleagues, administrators and parents in your district. This was an excellent overview and shows a connection between personal electronics and how those electronics can be used to enhance a student's learning. Nice job! Nancy || This video addresses Visual Literacy in a Web 2.0 World. It shares some research regarding visuals, learning, and retention of information; describes the four licenses of Creative Commons; and shares some websites where teachers and students can find copyright free images. || Nancy, I wish I'd known about all those great places to get photos. Most of mine came from flickr, because that's what the google search brought me to. I will be sure to bookmark some of those sites, so I will have better options in the future. Sarah P-S

Nancy - I second Sarah's comment. I have a pathfinder for students to find music, photos,... for presentations online. I am going to have to make sure I have all your suggestions included! Thanks! Jessica M. || This video discusses what social networking is and how it started. It gives ideas of how to use it in school and where the media might be going. || Lou, Nicely done! Interesting fact that women age 55+ are using more social networking. I liked your comment of the "early days" of social networking being 6-7 years ago! I agree that social networking is here to stay and I enjoyed your predictions for the future! Toni G.
 * media type="custom" key="6527545" || Lou R

Lou, I liked the point about social networking, specifically the point that even though some people have hundreds of "friends" they only interact with a small number of them on a regular basis. Sarah P-S.

Lou, I like that you explained how social networking seemed to evolve from chat rooms- I used to visit a few of those back in the day! I found the statistics that you shared to be interesting. I like the connection you made between social networking and how it can be used for project based learning. Nice job. - Jared

Lou - the background you have was very interesting. I didn't really look into that aspect of it, but I think it helps with understanding why it is important to use and keep an eye on its evolution. Jessica M. || The video gives an overview of different definitions about the digital divide and how it affects students. I also offer some ideas on how to bridge the gap. || Sarah, I thought you did a great job with your video. I liked how you switched slides often which really kept my eye and interest. I was shocked at the actual numbers/percentages of each race that have computer compared to those that have internet access. It really is an eye opener and helps to understand why some childrn do not have the experiences that other children have. Great Job, thanks for sharing. Holly

Sarah- I think that is an important topic to discuss. I find it difficult to assign lots of tech-based work because I can't guarantee that all of my students will have Internet access. I was interested to see the actual numbers of students without computers or Internet access at home. It's surprising that in 2010 we still have students without home computers. Great job on the presentation! Megan S. || This video provides a description of gamers and illustrates the challenges and possible benefits of using video games in school. I also share my own experience with the game Bloxorz. || Jared, Interesting video about games and benefits to the student. I found a couple of resources from your video that I can use in my business classes. Thanks! Toni Nice work, Jared! I was unaware of several of the resources you noted and I can not wait to check them out for use in my class. We never have enough good resources that the students will enjoy! Roann || This video provides basic information about video games and some of the possible benefits of using video games in the classroom. || Holly, I really liked how your presentation moved so well with your words. It kept me visually engaged throughout. You also made a great point about how gaming can be used to differentiate our material. The student does really get to be in charge of the pace. Well done! Beth || My video illustrates characteristics of the net generation learning styles and offers suggestions for video game use to increase motivation and learning. || Michelle, I liked how you designed your video allowing for the viewer's interaction in the lecture vs. video games slide and the sand castle slide. I also liked your point that "technology is not a separate subject, it is a tool." Nicely done! Toni Michelle, Great job on the video! Your images and script flowed very well together. Nice work using support to back up your ideas. You definitely have a case for using video games in the classroom! -Emily || My video shows a traditional classroom, characteristics of the Net Generation, research that supports games in math classes and websites to try in an Algebra classroom || Beth- Nice job with your presentation! I liked how you explained "then-vs-now" classrooms. I also thought you did a nice job with your transition from one slide to the next. I am going to check out "Absurd math" as it sounds like something I can use in my classroom. Well done! Lou R || I liked how you contrasted the old-style classroom with a more Net Generation friendly classroom. Good point about professional organizations like ISTE using Facebook. Informative social networking bookmarking slide. Nicely done! Toni G

 * media type="custom" key="6550905" || Explains different social networking sites and how they can be used by schools - for the whole school organization, in the classroom, and in the media center. || Jessica M.

Jessica, You gave so many great practical examples of how we can pull more technology into our schools. There are lots of little things that we can start with and work up to more as we get comfortable. The presentation was easy to follow and visually stimulating. Great Job! Beth

I really enjoyed your video and some of the great points you made. I will have to check on some of the other sites, but I do know most of the ones you mentioned are blocked. Maybe if we can show their value, they will at least unblock one or two for classroom use. Roann || This video is a presentation on Student Centered Learning. It gives some background and explains how it is used in the classroom. It also gives information on why this is a successful approach. || Emily, I really enjoyed your video. It was the first time I had ever seen the learning pyramid and was shocked that students retain 90% of the information when they teach others. Wow! I was also surprised that examples was rather low at 30% retention on the pyramid. Awesome job. Thanks so much for shaing. Holly
 * media type="custom" key="6554423" || Emily H.-

​ Emily, I decided to watch your video because I wanted to learn more about student center learning myself. It is something I am currently trying to do better in my teaching. I liked how you gave specific examples of how to offer students choices and choices in assessments. Like Holly, I thought the pyramid was an important addition to your video. I can see how my classroom area, art, lends itself to student centered learning. We constantly do demonstrations and learning by doing. I wish more classrooms could be like the special areas. Nice job on your presenation. Michelle F. || This is a presentation on Web 2.0 Tools. It gives definitions and possible uses in the classroom. It also discusses why there is a strong need for more technology in the classroom. || Megan- Nice job on your presentation! Great job with the script. You sounded like a pro! I also liked your slide showing the differences between the boomers(today's teachers/administrators) and the net gen students. Great point about wikis and how one can work on a response to perfect it before posting, unlike a meeting. I thought your point of making the web 2.0 part of the lesson as opposed to the focal point was a great one. Nice job! Lou R.
 * media type="custom" key="6557171" || Megan S.-

Megan, VERY nicely done. I think your presentation could easily be incorporated into the course content for this course as it does a nice overview of not only who Net Gen students are, but some of the tools that should be used with them. I hope that you will have an opportunity to share this out not only at a faculty meeting, but I think this would also be an excellent presentation to share with parents at a PTO meeting. || I really enjoyed the brief history of video games at the beginning. I learned some new things from just that part and researching that topic is something I'd never thought about. I liked how you presented pros and cons of using video games. I am for using video games in the classroom, however, I think your cons were right one. Most of the cons are something that's out of a teacher's control and it can only get better from the top down. Nice points and good presentation.
 * media type="custom" key="6580657" || Roann MC - This video provides some background on computer games as well as where they are headed in the future for use in the classroom. || ​ Roann,

Roann- I thought that this presentation gave a TON of great information. I especially liked how you used one slide to talk about each of the big pros for using video games in the classroom. I completely agree that video games can and should be used in our classrooms and I was happy to see that there are studies being done to prove this. Hopefully, this is a trend that we will see in the neat future. Great presentation! Megan S. ||
