| Detail: |
Designing learning environments that utilize the 21st century technologies now available to teachers is often seen as a task that requires significant amounts of technical knowledge and time. However, is this really still true? With many of the more recent technologies, particularly Web 2.0, if a teacher can use Microsoft Word, s/he can use such technologies for teaching and learning. In 2010, creating technology-rich blended learning environments requires minimal computer skills (e.g. filling out forms and coping-and-pasting of text). The workshop will provide examples of blended learning environments, incorporating Web 2.0 tools, that include examples of how student-learning activities can be effectively managed, while simultaneously providing more student-centred assessment.
