What is Web 2.0? • Interactive Web sites/tools • Provides novelty, enhancement to instruction and/or extension to learning • Are usually easy to use and takes some “play time” to get proficient at integration • Most of the times your own students can become the “experts” with this tool and train others • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KN11ZoDJXD4&feature=player_embedded#at=167 Video
Novelty • Novelty promotes information transmission through the Reticular activating system. • This research suggests that superior learning takes place when classroom experiences are enjoyable and relevant to students' lives, interests, and experiences.
