Session plans from my workshop: Now that what I call a session plan…taking Web 2.0 to the next level at the COFHE/UC&R 2008 Joint Study Conference Liverpool Hope University, June 23rd to 26th.The workshop began with a demonstration of some web 2.0 applications that can be useful in both professional development and teaching. The group then discussed how these applications could be utilised in teaching and learning and the pros and cons of using them.
Some of the theories and tools that can help in planning lessons with web 2.0 were examined, such as Pedagogy 2.0, tensions between innovation and control and the pedagogical design sheet.
Those in the room then divided into four groups to design a session plan, making use of web 2.0 applications and tools that are freely available on the web.
