View the webinar "Resources for Online Tools and Strategies to Support Instruction"

With the teacher acting as the facilitator in the classroom, there are optimum conditions that need to be present in order for this to occur. This webinar presents some pedagogical models of teaching and learning that can easily meet these conditions and support the use of online tools.

Online tools are not necessarily Web 2.0 tools in the truest sense. Some of the tools covered in this presentation would be considered Web 2.0 tools with their real-time collaboration aspects and revision histories. Other tools presented may be online utilities to meet a specific need or meet a student’s goal.

During this webinar, you will be introduced to several tools in each of these categories: video editors, audio editors, image editors, word processors, cool stuff, web page creators, podcast creators, survey makers, media converters, mind mappers, and citation makers.  The discussion focuses on why and when you might use each type and the strengths of the tools are emphasized.
