Web 2.0 is Like a River Flowing Far reaching Green Collaborative co-existence One destination opens up another Can be a smooth or bumpy ride Constantly evolving

Welcome! Whatever your skill level may be, it will

work for what we learn about today. I hope to learn from you as we discuss

Web 2.0 applications. A lot of learning about Web 2.0 and

beyond is participatory and exploratory – you need to jump in and experiment with the programs, tools, software and hardware in order to grow.

Introduction & Philosophy

Lori Franklin, Olathe East High School 12 years in the field at all grade levels NBCT Current ESU SLIM Ph.D. student Interested in promoting rich social capital

with teen populations in school libraries. You can’t be afraid of breaking the computer!

Our most useful learning occurs when we take the time to explore and make mistakes.

Web 2.0 is Pervasive My Space – 53 million visits per month Wikipedia – 43 million visits per month You Tube – 32 million visits per month Facebook – 25 million visits per month Flickr – 9.7 million visits per month Del.ici.ous – 1.3 million visits per month Clearly, people love being online and

have integrated these technologies into their daily lives.

Don’t be shocked… Guess which online reference site is

ranked #1 according to the eBiz MBA editorial team?

Yep…Wikipedia! See what else shows up on this list.

Web 2.0 = Open Source Collaborative – one person creates,

another user adds to the project, a different person might tweak it in a new way, and so on.

Less of an emphasis on “ownership.” More emphasis on sharing. Encompasses blogging, social networking,

wikis, podcasting, vodcasting, xml & rss, aggregators and widgets.

Page 8: Web 2.0 - Join the Journey

Sharing – a New Model Many Web 2.0 applications are free. This collaborative sharing model is a big

step away from the typical proprietary manufacturer keeping tight control over a product (think: Microsoft).

With sharing and online discussion come solutions to problems.

Blogs and Wikis Blogging is a way to publish your thoughts,

dreams, aspirations, opinions, photos, etc. online in either a public or private format.

The blogosphere is absolutely huge! Technorati, a site that indexes and tracks

blogs, estimates that there are 112 million blogs.

Others argue, saying that while many blogs are initially created, not as many are actually used.

The Blog Herald – How Many Blogs are There? Is Someone Still Counting? http://www.blogherald.com/2008/02/11/how-many-blogs-are-there-is-someone-still-counting/

Page 10: Web 2.0 - Join the Journey

So How do I Start? If you are a beginner, consider a

blogging service that creates templates for you. You do not need to know html/javascript in order to begin publishing your blog.

For a School Library: Library Log -

Page 13: Web 2.0 - Join the Journey

Why in the World Wiki? A wiki is a place where you can post

information online. Others can edit and add to that information. We even used a wiki to plan our presentations for this conference!

Students might use a wiki to provide discussion about a reading passage. They could also take on the role of a character in a book and describe another direction the character might have taken.

Social networking A Pew Internet Poll shows that 55

percent of all online teens aged 12-17 use social networking sites.

Some 48 percent of teens visit social networking sites daily.

A slightly higher margin (58 percent) of social network site users are girls.

Facebook

Page 19: Web 2.0 - Join the Journey

Have You Tried Using a Ning?

Social networking across the world. Great value in seeking the perspectives

of others in the same field. Can make valuable contacts for work. http://teacherlibrarian.ning.com/

Page 20: Web 2.0 - Join the Journey

Twitter A fun way to keep connected using very few

words. Follow others and see their activities and

comments. www.twitter.com This might be useful to study around the time of

the election to get a finger on the political pulse. Able to be meshed with other applications

(Facebook for example). http://library-log.blogspot.com/ Scroll down and look on the right side of the

page.

Page 21: Web 2.0 - Join the Journey

Aggregators Aggregators help you keep track of blogs

you are following without having to visit them every day.

When a new blog entry is posted for a site you subscribe to (via RSS feed) the blog is placed in a “holding space” until you have time to read it.

Great time saver and easy to set up. Bloglines – www.bloglines.com

Podcasting/Vodcasting Appeals to different learning styles. Easy to produce and upload. Schools using them to have students

produce audio and video projects related to the curriculum.

May require file conversion to upload, depending on how your district has set up a server and access.

Example: hard drive disk camcorder (had to convert to mp4 format for uploading).

File Converters Internet Video Converter Converts digital files formats – great to

use when you are shooting video on a hard disk drive camcorder.

Media Convert Helpful when students have MS Vista

and your school still uses Windows 97 or XP or Millennium.

Mashups Mixing web applications to create

something new. Mashups are user driven. Google Maps – www.googlemaps.com Digg – www.digg.com Flickr – www.flickr.com (choose: Explore) Example:

Make your schedule available…

Google has a great free, calendar function. You create your online calendar and link it

to your web page - advantages. If you have Novell, you can do the same

thing. www.google.com Click on: Calendar and then: Take a Tour. You do need a Google account (free) to

create a username and password.

Page 31: Web 2.0 - Join the Journey

gmail Worth a look! Just visit Google. When you change internet service providers,

your e-mail does not have to change. Huge amounts of storage space. Ways to organize and catalog your e-mail. Has chat function compatible with other

gmail users. The account gives you access to all of the

Google tools, including Blogger.

Page 32: Web 2.0 - Join the Journey

Drive database use Use your library site to promote database usage. Many database vendors will give you graphics to

use for linking to their sites from your page. Databases you purchase will provide statistical

reports for you, showing your school’s exact usage, which in turn drives purchasing decisions.

Encourage Use Consider making web guides or

pathfinders tailored to the databases you want students to use:

http://teachers.olatheschools.com/oelibrary/

Your SPED department will love you! Guides such as this are helpful for

explaining databases to parent groups.

Page 35: Web 2.0 - Join the Journey

Your school library site Biggest caveat – should be regularly

updated. You can create a library site using a

blog! This is much easier than learning how to use Dreamweaver or Front Page, for example.

My district – going to a WordPress model for school sites.
