Presented at IU 21 in Schnecksville, PA on October 27, 2010. The web has changed from a one-way communication vehicle to a two-way, collaborative space that enables conversations, content creation, connections and collaboration to enhance learning and communication. How can you use these new, often free, tools to enhance your learning activities in the classroom and the school district? The session will explore the changing Internet landscape, opportunities for using web 2.0 as a learning and communication tool, strategies for implementing web 2.0 and an exploration of some tools that enable Learning 2.0.

- I’m not going to take time to give a dictionary description of Web 2.0. If you want that you can look it up on wikipedia (or a dictionary). Let’s dive a little deeper. This is a Web 2.0 word cloud indicating some terms that can be used to describe Web 2.0. Take a minute to review the word cloud. Are there any words that you want to discuss? Are there any words that you’d like more explanation about or any words that you didn’t think would be included with an explanation of Web 2.0? Word cloud from wordle.net – go out and show wordle.net as an example of Web 2.0 if it’s an experienced group that’s looking for tools Basic description of Web 2.0 -Interconnected and interactive web-delivered content . . . versus web 1.0 which was often static, one-way web content. Web 2.0 is often referred to as the social web. Learning activities with Web 2.0 tools is referred to as Social Learning.

- Here’s another Web 2.0 word cloud. This one is more detailed than the other – more technical. The other was more of a “user” word cloud. This one is more of an “implementer” word cloud. How about this one? What words do you want to talk about with this one? As you can see from this word cloud and even the one before, there are a lot of concepts, techniques, strategies and technologies that make up web 2.0.

Bersin & Associates is an enterprise learning and talent management research and advisory company. They’ve tried to summarize Web 2.0 by creating 4 categories – The 4 C’s of Web 2.0. The categories are not exclusive. Tools can go cross-category, but for the most part their main use/purpose can be listed in one category. A lot of tools are “mashups” of all of these functions.

However, nearly all Web 2.0 use is currently outside school, and for social purposes There are effective teaching and learning strategies that can be enhanced and implemented more efficiently with web 2.0 Differential learning Project-based learning Student-centered learning Students are using it, but there not sure how to use them for learning. Not being used as a personal learning tool . . . Nor is it a natural tool for quality self-expression. http://educationpr.org/2007/11/19/book-review-web-20-new-tools-new-schools/ Book: Web 2.0: new tools, new schools Solomon and Schrum observe that, although young people may be ahead of their teachers in using these tools, teachers can help them use the tools in educationally appropriate ways. With Web 2.0, students acquire knowledge from many more sources. As long as teachers vet those sources for accuracy and reliability, students can get a broader range of perspectives and resources. Also, some students don’t know how to subscribe . . . But they need these skills for 21st century jobs

- Andy Survey of students in the LTMS 600 class What were some obstacles to using Web 2.0 technology in your classroom? (Select all that apply) 35 There were no obstacles – 0 Selecting the right Web 2.0 tool – 4 (11%) Planning the lesson to take advantage of the Web 2.0 technology – 5 (14%) Internet technology (speed, availability, access, etc.) – 12 (34%) Getting approval from the administration – 1 3%) Getting approval from the parents – 1 (3%) Getting students to actively participate using the technology – 1 (3%) Assessing student learning when using Web 2.0 tools in the classroom – 4 (11%) Other: - 7 (20%) Time is the big &quot;obstacle.&quot; I am lucky that my district is very open to using Web 2.0 tools, as long as we do it safely and cautiously. time commitment getting staff to actively participate using the techmology access to the sites (not being blocked by filter) and student email for some sites Getting teachers to be willing to learn and use new skills and access the tools Additional comments: I am permitted to do just about anything...so far...as long as I ask and give the technology directors a chance to reflect. Assessment of student work using WEB 2.0 requires a different rubric since there are additional skills involved in doing collaborative work -- assessment is one of my issues--but I have always hated to assign a grade to student work. Some of the Web 2.0 tools--like YouTube--are blocked by our security. As always, time commitment and all the additional demands made on the classroom teacher make it difficult to find the time to do many of the activities you would like. I supervise staff members who lack even the basic skills required to effectively use technology. Getting them on board has been a significant struggle. I have played with the above tools for a few years now. But this class really cemented for me each tools strengthens and weaknesses. So that when a teacher tells me what they want to do. I am able to tell them which tool would best meet their needs. The obstacle is overcoming the fear of opening these tools up for students and navigating safety, fear, common sense, educational value and appropriate use. The only thing that has held me back is the ocassional technological hiccup and the transfer of our blog server from an outside souce to within the District. Some issues with staff being able to create a google account or access the docs from the various districts they are housed in. Student access to technology fit into curriculum Selecting the tool is critical, otherwise technology is not enhancing the learning, it is just entertaining. The biggest issue was having the technology available for the students. Only in half of the rooms I travel to are there sets of 1:1 laptops. When I wanted to use it in the other classes, I had to beg, borrow, and stopped just short of stealing to get the students access to mini-laptops. There are so many different Web 2.0 tools it was hard to decide which one would best assist the students with learning. Planning was another obstacle I had to over come meaning no paper and how to incorporate teaching utilizing Web 2.0 tools, speed and connection time is always as issue. The students were more than happy to actively participate! I can&apos;t imagine that being an obstacles.
- Andy Survey of students in the LTMS 600 class What solutions did you find to overcome any obstacles to using Web 2.0 technology in your classroom Other: I like to go to the administrators with a plan that tells them what and why and how. With that information in hand...they have been very open to permitting me to give it a try. I am not sure if you can ever fully overcome the obstacles of time constraints. The district is always adding more and more to our curriculum. You try to integrate the technology into the curriculum as best as you can. That is always my biggest challenge. The technology should not just be the 40 minutes you spend each week in the computer lab. Currently there are limited solutions - developing the appropriate trainings would be highly beneficial, however, we have very limited professional development time available and there are so many other critical topics we need to address that taking time to train in web 2.0 is almost impossible. Communicating education value of the tool and the techniques being implemented to aid in student safety Patience and flexibility. Prizes to those posting, posting pertinent information, using inservice time to practice together I am flexible when planning. I know to always have at least a plan B or C with technology. For the teachers who let me borrow their laptops, I am incredibly nice, so they will continue to let me borrow their set of laptops. I tried several different techniques which I learned in class to find the one that worked best with learning for the students. It was a trail and error. Planning, tech support plan ahead
- Andy Survey of students in the LTMS 600 class How did you benefit as a teacher from using Web 2.0 tools in your classroom Other: I am connected to others I have access to my student work where ever I am I don&apos;t have to carry a pile of papers home for grading I collaborate with my students--promoting a community of learning. I love technology and I learn something new every day! Yes. It allowed me to see how much more I could challenge my students and showed them different ways to present, discuss, and create projects and material to be mastered. I had known that web 2.0 applications were out there but did not know exactly what they were and how they could be used in the classroom. I was motivated and inspired to try many of the ideas that I learned at the Web 2.0 class. Hopefully, this also motivates and inspires the students. It provided several forums to connect staff that are located across a three-ounty area I am increasing my own professional development by using my RSS feeds, twitter etc. It has allowed the students to become more engaged in their learning, which has shifted the responsibility for learning more to the students. Before I was more te deliverer of the information. Now I still deliver the info, but ina way that is more flexible for the students. The studenta are also more readily able to collaborate, problem solve, and create new meaning out of the info. I feel that it revitalized my teaching! It really helped the students become more engaged when we were able to use the tools, which does result in better participation and grades. I can provide faster and more specific feedback to students. I am able to keep the students engaged, even after they have left the classroom. There is also an enhanced communication between me, the students, and parents. I became the facilitator instead of the teacher. The students were able to see their own potential and rise to the occasion. When the correct tool is selected, the learning became the responsibility of the student, and I was able to become the guide to the learning. students were more interested students participated more and at a higher level web 2.0 tools provided the most fun lessons.
- Andy Survey of students in the LTMS 600 class What student learning benefits resulted from using Web 2.0 tools in your classroom? (Select all that apply) 40 There were NO benefits (0%) Increased engagement – 11 (28%) Increased student collaboration – 10 (25%) Increased accountability – 5 (13%) Decreased participation anxiety – 4 (10%) Extended activity outside the classroom – 7 (18%) Other, please specify - 3 (8%) Other: Paperless!!!!!!! or at least paper-less increased staff communication Teachers are getting new ideas to use in their programs from colleagues Additional Comments: We are seeing increased excitement from the students in the learning process. As well as increase collaboration among teachers and administrators. It has decreased participation anxiety for shy students. It may have increased anxiety for students who do not like technology, or who have weak computer skills. The biggest change I made this year was the daily class blog. I have six different classes and six different blogs. The blogs get updated daily - frequently by me, but the students also contribute. I always explain exactly what we did, what people need to make up if there were absent, and I embed other resources that will extend the learning (like YouTube videos or study games). Some students log on a couple times a week, just to see the extra activities. The videos are always highly requested. One video half the class sung along to the first time I played it in class because they had all watched it multiple times in class. My 6th graders are presenting on the collaborative work they did on Tuesday afternoon at PETE&C. The students were more engaged and wanted to learn. The collaboration also increased, to see the students talk to each other about what they were learning was cool The biggest change I made this year was the daily class blog.

- Andy Survey of students in the LTMS 600 class Do you plan to continue using Web 2.0 tools in your classroom?15 Please explain: YES!!!!!!! I plan to expand the use of the tools I have started with various groups of students. I have always enjoyed using technology for myself and my students. I also like to motivate other teachers to try to use these technologies in their classrooms, too. I&apos;m working on developing skill sets regarding 2.0 with the Educational Consultants that work in my program in order to provide teachers with guided practice in the use of the tools I want to expand my use of wikis and podcasting. Rome wasn&apos;t built in a day, so I will continue to use the tools even if it is slower than I would wish. I plan to continue to use google docs, blogs and wikis for teacher collaboration and increase the responsibility for teachers to access and utilize. Without the course, I would not have known about so many great tools. Additionally, talking and learning with other educators was very beneficial. This class is a must for all teachers of any age group. Our society is turning more towards technology, we must embrase the technology in order to keep up with the world. The benefits outweigh the challenges.

Enterprises that used social networking reported a 31% year-over-year improvement of quality of hire, versus a 19% improvement reported by those not using the technology. HR Director from a mid-size US Based hospital network indicated “Each member of the recruiting team has joined a web-based community of individuals who are among our target candidate populations. Several have used the medium to volunteer to mentor newcomers to their field, creating a pipeline of future candidates.” Onboarding example: Company forums and discussions are powerful ways to build connections to ensure that new employees are engaged and assimilated into an organizational culture. Organizations that utilize company forums achieved a 24% year-over-year improvement in time to productivity (a key metric when measuring onboarding). Executive General Manager at Hudson Managed Services indicated “We created a Facebook group for a pool of international recruits so they had a ready-made network upon arrival.” Onboarding activities where web 2.0 tools are most critical: - Getting employees up to speed quickly in terms of skills and/or competencies needed to do the job well - Enabling new employees to find the “go to” people within the organization for answers to their questions - Acclimating new employees into the organization’s culture Learning and Development example: Tools that make content creation easier and more flexible like wikis or social tagging, which allow for individuals to share ideas more broadly and efficiently are showing strong adoption Top activities where web 2.0 tools are critical to success in learning and development - Enabling dispersed workers to collaborate and share ideas - Enabling learning to extend beyond the classroom and on the job - Allowing people to take part in learning without time or geographical boundaries TELUS, a North American telecom company used wikis for learning content creation and was able to add nearly 8,000 new hires while keeping training budgets flat - Extend Formal - Performance Support - Knowledge Management - Informal Learning Performance Management: Plan for how you will measure the success of web 2.0 tools -Participation -Use -Reduction in cost -Improvements in productivity -Hiring metrics
- Group activity Aberdeen Group study of over 500 organizations 55% utilize web 2.0 tools to facilitate knowledge capture and / or transfer 36% utilize web 2.0 tools to connect employees with colleagues 32% utilize web 2.0 tools to provide visibility into work/project progress by dispersed teams Group activity - Consider those three statistics and the categories we reviewed. Get in small groups, discuss an opportunity for using web 2.0 (an opportunity – not the tool) - Think of need for conversation, content, connections, collaboration
- Additional opportunities to consider: PSU Outreach http://www.thoughtfarmer.com/blog/2009/02/04/pennstate/ - play vimeo video at the bottom of the page Miller Coors MillerCoors sales faced a potential downturn as they rolled out new sales software. They needed a better, faster result than classroom training. (Employees signing up for the same classes over the years) The MillerCoors University team took a risk by building their software training course in the firm’s existing SharePoint application. This initiative yielded a significant cost savings and speed to software mastery, as well as a collaborative architecture that is being adopted corporate wide.

- Strategies for Implementing Determine Need Cultural – does your culture need to be more collaborative Operational – What challenges does your training operations face? What challenges does your organization face? Learning – Can learning outcomes be enhanced by social learning? For a variety of courses or just one course? Strategic – Do you want to be seen as a leader (person or department) in the organization? Organizational alignment Enterprise app. – are there existing enterprise applications that you can help drive to adoption by using for learning? Are there other resources that people are used to using that you can plug into? Customer services – Customer service (internal and external) can benefit from social computing. They can be a partner Marketing/communications – (Internal and external) can benefit from social computing. They can be a partner Building a business case Attach to business metrics Growth Reduction in costs Couple of different ways to think about your adoption method. Formal or informal (top-down, bottom-up) Formal – top-down = Longer time, more coordination, motivational factors Informal – bottom-up = Organic, user-driven , but difficult to managed. And bottom-up happens at its own speed, which doesn’t work when you have deadlines Pilot or the wedge (Bersin & Associates) Pilot (focused project) Build a community around single, high-value learning program Provides easy entry. Drives deep participation. Add users over time. (-) May not self-sustain. (-) May not have enough applicability beyond scope of project to spawn further use. Wedge (broad function) Use only one function to serve a single purpose (such as Q&A) across entire audience. Spreads exposure to system rapidly. Drives wide participation. Add uses over time. (-) May not adequately prepare for using each feature. (-) May not allow enough time for adminsto gain required skills.* Group activity: Share your need, organizational alignment. What business metrics could be impacted? What adoption method would you take? Discuss the pros and cons of those – or questions you have about them. We’ll ask each group to summarize their discussion at the end.
