CATEC to Host Web 2.0 Meeting

Before several weeks ago I didn't know that the innovative technology infusion that we are proposing actually had a name. Web 2.0 is the official title for a new set of tools that allow users to collaborate ideas through new mediums of expression. As we know these mediums are commonplace with our students yet educators are just beginning to learn of their significance and relevance to support student learning. 47 million Myspace users are a testament to the popularity of social networking sites, many of which are created by adolescents.

To try and understand the intricacies and application of these mediums, we have solicited a local group of experts from the Charlottesville area to have a conversation as to how this integration can work at our school. Jim Duncan, Tom Thompson, Sean Tubbs, Waldo Jaquith, John Peterson, DJ Hill, Jim Bain, and Marijean Jaggers are just a few of the "techno experts" that will be attending a work session on Wednesday, December 12 at CATEC from 8:30-10:30.

stay tuned...
