Before we get into the specifics of using Web 2.0 to enhance your classroom there are a couple of things you should know. During this lesson you will learn how to generally sign up for an account, basic web 2.0 vocabulary, and read what other people are saying about using the internet in your classroom. There are some rules and warnings as we move through this course:
1- MOST IMPORTANT- TRY THINGS! You will not break the internet. Click on a link to see what it does. If you mess something up just retrace your steps. Be Brave!
2- You do not have download anything onto your computer unless you want to. I only recomend websites that I have tried and feel comfortable with.
3- You will have to sign up for accounts on several websites. If you do not feel comfortable putting your name out there create a fake email account and use an alias.
4- Also, remember to choose a password that you will remember. When using Web 2.0 tools I use the same password. The same goes for my email, etc. I know that the experts recomend otherwise, but I have never not been able to remember my password.
5- If a website is trying to sell you something don't buy it. There are too many open source tools and products on the web for you to have to buy something.6- Have Fun!
