GoodWolves+Share

Dec. 4th 2009 At the end of our session this evening and in planning for the next upcoming meeting tentatively set for February 15th we are encouraged to share a web2.0 or other digital technology resource that we use either personally or in the classroom. There are way too many tools for any one individual to learn and use, but as a group we will be able to leverage our "collective expertise". The purpose of this wiki page is to act as a central location for us to find out "who knows what"

Please edit this page and add tools that you use and would like to share about at our next upcoming meeting. If a tool isn't listed, **//DO//** add it to the table. If you already use a tool that is listed, feel free to put your name down as someone who has some knowledge of the tool and feel free to collaborate with others (however you want) in preparing something to share. If you are interested in learning about one of the tools, feel free to put your name down. If you don't know which tool you want to learn about, just pick one or three!

Note - I don't know much about it, other than I've used it as an end-user before. I also know that as BC Educators, we have access to Elluminate through LearnNowBC.ca. I've booked an Elluminate session for Feb. 15th for us to try it out. || Darren ||  ||
