It’s a great world for learning!

- 51. No excuses: I don’t know enough about technology If you can use e-mail, save a Word document and open a Facebook account, you can handle most Web 2.0 tools. I don’t have time Start with one tool. Work with it for one month – or even two. Then start with another. I’m too busy These tools will save you time. But I’m too old Ha-Ha!
- 52. Thank you! Diana Jones

- There is a clear learning outcome and an educational goal.VoiceThread encourages learners to share and connect with each other.Learners present for a “real” audience.It allows for a diversity of learning styles (voice, text, images).It allows for learners’ creativity.
- Most of us are already quite technologically literate. We are all dab hands at word processing tools, spreadsheets, e-mail applications, uploading and downloading stuff on YouTube, Flickr… We have all embraced social networks. We can all make something and put it online. If you can use e-mail, save a Word document and open a Facebook account, you can handle most Web 2.0 tools.
