Winning Web 2.0 Environments for Teaching and Learning

 * Description:** From flashcards to multimedia projects, come to this fast-paced session that will overview a multitude of Web 2.0 authoring environments that will help students practice and show what they know! Featured environments will include, but not be limited to: Quizlet, PhotoPeach, Voki, Wordle, Google Voice, Glogster, Typewith.me, Weebly, Wikispaces. Participants are encouraged to bring their laptop.

This is not a how-to session, but rather an overview exploration of products created in various Web 2.0 environments. Each environment below contains links to examples as well as an embedded example so you may see what it looks like on a page.

When thinking about using these interactive tools, think about:
 * What is the purpose of the environment? Is this something the student creates, practices
 * Does the student needs an account?
 * Is the item created embeddable (can I put it on my website or does the student have to go to the website)?
