On the Way to Web 3.0

Anne-Marie Gordon and Wendy Villone, Livonia Central Schools

Are you using Web 2.0?  Watch out world!  Here comes Web 3.0!

Participants will learn the integration of cross-platform technology into content areas, including ways to blend these free items with district-required tools. Become aware of 21st century student skills leading to self-directed media tools: images, audio, video, text, and more that will prepare students for life beyond the classroom. Participants will observer successful library-classroom collaboration. Since teachers often face limited funds, tools shared and demonstrated are FREE and open-source. No licensing or upgrade fees here! Information on how to evaluate free tools for security, reliability, and the possibilities for integration will also be shared.
