  1. Web 2.0and Young LearnersCreating Interactive Multimedia on the Internet • Judy Soto and Jennifer Krayewski • Greenwich Country Day School

  2. Session This session will suggest projects and techniques teachers of young children can use to explore the new possibilities available, including the use of iPods, podcasts, Web-based tools and other interactive media.

  3. What is Web 2.0 • Interactive side of the web compared to the static web we’ve first met • Blogs • Podcasting • Wikis • Social Bookmarking • Social Networking

  4. Resources and Tools • We will be discussion applications and support for a Mac computer. PC aplications and support is available, but we decided to present what we are comfortable using and we could best field questions about. See handout for more. • iPods - although we use them at this point for recording and downloading the voice files, and recording books, there are many other ways to use them which we will discuss later. • We have found that young children's voices are very clear with the iPods. We use them in many ways - love to record young children for use in podcasts, other projects • downloads in to iTunes • rename and add to students machines using Apple Remote Desktop • Computers - Mac based, using Intel iMacs • iPods • Microphones • Digital Cameras • Books

  5. Applications • Apple’s iLife Suite - iPhoto, iMovie, Garage Band, iTunes, iWeb • AppleWorks • Kid Pix • Kidspiration • Photo Booth • Safari • Apple Remote Desktop - teacher only • Dreamweaver - teacher only • iWeb • Smart Board

  6. Move to Web 2.0 • Found ourselves printing fewer projects • Creating more and more multimedia project to be shared on web • Easily combining a variety of sources - sound files, video clips, web based images • Began with podcasts and moved on to blogs • Use of video - Google video, United Streaming • Collaborating with Moodle and Google Docs

  7. Reaction • Children love applications like Garage Band and enjoyed working collaboratively • Must use password protection - identifiable children’s pictures not permitted on website • Projects well received - parents, students, teachers • Classroom teachers enthusiastic about web audio and video resources

  8. Posting Projects • Use iWeb - fast and easy • Used .Mac account • Provides aggregator (checks for changes and updates in minutes) • Provides the ability to syndicate Podcasts • Tags the work so that it becomes searchable

  9. Third Grade Projects • iMovie Podcast • Podcast for annual third grade iMovie project • Culminating project incorporating lower school tech skills and use of wide variety of application • Students love project and enjoyed sharing progress with parents • Podcast contains movies, interviews

  10. Third Grade Projects • Favorite Book Review - Podcast and Blog • Planned in Kidspiration, published in AppleWorks • Recorded voice with iPod • Illustrated book in Kid Pix, exported as jpeg • Collected PhotoBooth head shot and book cover image from Internet • Created podcast in Garage BandTeacher took Garage Band files from server and exported to iWeb. • Project searchable by name of child or name of book. • Blog added for students to add their own comments about any book

  11. GarageBand Demo

  12. Third Grade Projects • Halloween Spooky Stories BlogEach class given a Halloween story. Collaborative work with partner planning, reading • Voices recorded on an iPod. Illustrated stories in Kid Pix and saved in JPEG format. Created spooky music to play behind readings using Garage Band, added their pictures to voices and sounds.Entire book put together in Garage Band and saved in QuickTime for the Internet.

  13. Second Grade Projects • Tiger Pride Blog • Each week students are assigned a "Pride of the Week" • Using iMovie and the built in camera on the iMac, students worked in pairs to record the Pride of the Week and offered suggestions on how others can show their pride • Other students use the blog to record and tell about how they practiced their pride. • Site is password protected.

  14. Second Grade Projects • With younger students we found it was very useful to use a simple script which they filled in and read. • The Pride of the Week this week is: • We could practice this pride by: • Or we could: • What will you do to:

  15. Second Grade Projects • Website of the Week • Used for both Second and Third Grades • Safe site without outside links • All sites correlated to current grade level curriculum

  16. First Grade Projects • Roar, the GCDS Tiger • Online collaborative project - schools share information about their media center. • Read Knuffle Bunny by Mo Willems. • Using Kid Pix the children drew Roar hiding and wrote about where he could possibly be on campus • Published on blog

  17. First Grade Projects • The Leaf Man • Used to introduce first graders to logging on and finding their project • Listened to reading of book, The Leaf Man, by Lois Ehlert • Made leaf man or animal with collected Fall leaves, acorns, etc. • Took digital picture, brought in as background in Kid Pix • Wrote their leaf man using template with repeated line from book • Online story created in iMovie, with each child a chapter, and exported to QuickTime

  18. Started using it with my daughter who lives in San Francisco to plan her wedding - now use it all the time! including new wedding in Boston Teachers • Conferencing using Google Docs Plan meetings Presentations Ordering Does not work in all browsers...Safari • Moodle Blogs Co-Teacher Blog At work Weight Watchers’ blog

  19. Problems Encountered • Although we love the ease of iWeb, the application is limited. It is cumbersome to work on more than one computer at a time. • Files are saved in a single package called Domain.sites which can be copied to other computers for multiple computer use. It is stored within the user’s library/application support/iWeb. This is the site that needs to be copied
