There are tools, tools, tools, but this session will feature learn, learn, learn. Our eminent panel will have ideas – you bring yours. If we want to improve reading, writing, collaborative work, higher-level thinking, data representations, and research, what are the best Web 2.0 tools to use? Add your best ideas to those of the panel in a session dedicated to collaborative intelligence for kids!
This was a great game, pitting Doug Peterson’s Team Web 2.0 Plus 1 against Zoe Branigan-Pipe’s The Collaborators. Check out all of the tools, ideas, and learning boosts at the great website, collaboratively built by session participants. Be sure to participate in the survey on the site!
