|
|
|
Code: PNI056 |
Duration: 2 hours |
| The democratic nature of the social web means that the ability to learn and produce meaningful work can now happen at any level - from the independent student, to the individual teacher, to the entire education institution. Now, more than ever, instructors are able to motivate active learning among students, by empowering them with relevant online tools that allow for more creative approaches to go beyond the traditional class-based education. |

In this two hour session, learn how you can...

And much more...
In this international presentation brought to you by educators John Larkin (Australia) and Kevin Lim (United States), the first part of the session will provide a general state of education on the social web, while the second part will demonstrate tactical approaches to meeting your students' learning objectives through the appropriate use of social web tools such as blogs, wikis, and social networks.
