Web 2.0 and Wakefield 2.1

At WHS we are embracing the evolving education culture by enhancing teachers's and students's learning through the use of interactive, online programs generally termed as Web 2.0 tools.

In Honors Computer Engineering 2 this spring we decided to assist the WHS faculty by finding examples of Web 2.0 tools being used in lesson plans or as requirements for assignments. The students were tasked with researching lesson plans teachers had posted online or the assignments. The students then were expected to make a listing of the results on a Google doc (web 2.0 tool) and turned in via Dropbox.com (web 2.0 tool).

The expectations for the assignment are listed below as well as a small sampling of the outstanding results.

I hope that my colleagues here at WHS as well as around the web find something useable here. And please feel free to beam us your own projects. I expect that many of our students will surprise us as they evolve far faster than us!!!
