Web 2.0 and Social Networking in Education

Catalog description

Web 2.0 represents an unending avalanche of free digital tools available through the web. While this course acknowledges that this is certainly part of the Web 2.0 revolution, it digs deeper, looking at how specific kinds of Web 2.0 tools can be used to build bridges between digital age learners and academic goals, as well as to improve the kinds of communication and lifelong learning opportunities that are so much a part of the digital world. This course develops strands begun in ECIV 652 with regard to using online communities and Web 2.0 tools to support teaching and learning.
