Web 2.0 lessons everywhere...

Now that we have learned alot of new web 2.0 tools I am constantly thinking about how this would work in the classroom. We were asked to create a blog lesson and a podcasting lesson. These ideas came so easily because I feel like the options are endless. I guess I am lucky I teach high school becasue most of the kids are familar with podcasts, making videos and reading or even writing blogs. They enjoy it and they feel a connection to what they do outside of school. When I was writing the lesson for podcasting I had the idea to tie into oprah's big campaign on no texting while driving (No phone zone). This would be a perfect authentic problem for driver ed, then just a few days ago I was looking at her website and she actually is hosting a competition right now for making No phone zone PSA's. This is another great tool and a great authentic problem. As I said, the possibilites seem endless and it is exciting to see what great ideas these kids have and let their creativity shine.
