Fostering Higher Level Thinking in History Through Web 2.0
my one to one plea
Some axiomatic statements about what my learning environment would be like if my IB students all had laptops (any platform):
* nearly all if not every handout would be in pdf format, thus saving paper I'm nearly there already with www.mrfaught.org
* the door would open to many collaborative projects within a prescribed IB unit. here is a great example of this
* Web 2.0 would be the ocean in which we would swim
* Google Docs would allow cross platform, real time collaboration... forget microsoft or apple...
* each class would/will have a ning site, a social network in which to post items and collaborate this is my ning already operating
* blogs would become part of homework many different ways to do this... here are mine
* images would be / already are on evernote here's an example of a class project about the Cuban Revolution
* there would be plenty of sound and video like these
* plenty of thought has gone into this approach, evident here
PLEASE consider this one to one plan... it would really be a positive step forward for the school. I would be willing to be a guinea pig, if you wish to trial the concept.
