Lecture one: Networked Learning


Web 2.0 is about you in a community, it is no longer about just getting information from the web, it is about joining a community and sharing knowledge collaboratively....
We as people of the 90's know the web as just a base to gain knowledge by doing a google or yahoo search (web 1.0), we need to adapt to the new Web 2.0.

What is Web 2.0?

• Putting the 'we' in web



• ...The living web (newsweek, 4.3.2006)



• Wiki, podcasts, ajax, blogging, GTD, mash ups, web standards, peer to peer, collective intelligence etc...

Andy Budd shows the difference between Web 1.0 and Web 2.0:

• Altavista v. Google


• Hotmail v. Yahoo mail


• Ofoto v. Flickr


• Mp3.com v. Itunes


• Geocities v. Blogger


• Mapquest v. Google Maps


• Encarta v. Wikipedia


• Nerscape v. Mozilla Firefox

Webquests (WQ)

The three webquests we looked at, varied greatly the first one, the tiger cubs one, was way to boring, it was a just a lot of information, which would not be very interesting, the second one, the borden murder trial was interesting, although none of the links worked, they all came up with errors, and this would be exceptionally frustrating for a group of students, thney cannot reach any of the information that they need, so they tend not to learn anything. the third one was more interesting, the rubric was very clear, it was colourful and interesting with links that worked and information was clear and concise.

before reading the powerpoint presentation, i was a little stuck as to what a webquest was, now i understand, and realise the need to keep it updated and fun

ok, a game that works for students

who are naturalist... Zoo Game... this game is a great one for students who are very creative and also for students who are naturalists, as it shows students a way to be creative with including animals, and teaches them about the animals they are combining, this game is a lot of fun and it keeps the student absorbed, even those of us who are NOT naturalists.

So why do we use these????

Well, we use the videos for people who learn things through sight, the music for thos who learn through sounds and then we use the written word for those of who learn through logic and literature
