Professional Learning Environment and Web 2.0 Tools


 

Web 2.0 Tools

  • 'Digital Portfolio Wiki': The central focus of the PLE. It is the core of all other activity with everything else radiating from it.
  • Blogs: Both professional and classroom blogs are represented to show professional development and involvement in education
  • Online Social Networking Tools: This includes spaces for sharing images and bookmarks amongst other options
  • Web 2.0 Productivity Tools: These are often used on a daily basis to find information and create interfaces for personal or shared use
  • Educational Wikis: Why only have one wiki? Wikis are so useful and versatile they are a useful addition to any toolkit
  • Other Online Areas: Online storage and interaction areas for podcasts, videos etc such as YouTube, Google Video, Blip.tv, Archive.org, Podomatic
