School 2.0 in SA

I haven’t even blinked and we are halfway through the first month of this year already! I trust that everybody are rested and ready for a year of innovation, learning and creative teaching incorporating Web 2.0 tools in our everyday lives. So I better get cracking otherwise I will not reach my goal of getting 200 teachers blogging this year. Jip, I will continue my blogging crusade  as I think that through blogging we can learn about a whole variety of other tools by embedding it into our blogs (Slideshare, YouTube, Del.icio.us, Voicethreads…).

So the first thing I would like to do is to create a “gated blog” where we can all blog in one place (co-authers). At our workshop we discussed  that as a way to create a private learner blogspace for our classes…

I will also start going into all the nitty gritty of, for instance, when to create pages and when to do posts, where do categories and tags fit into a blog…

Social networking is still the flavour of the day and I think it is time that we address some of the issues, pros and cons that are associated with social networking sites like Facebook and MySpace. We will also look at some other platforms for creating your own social school network, like Ning and Ecto.

So little time…so much to do….
