Teaching and learning with Web.2


Bologna, October 19th, 2007:  15.40 - 16.40 h
Seminario Nazionale LEND
"Insegnare e apprendere le lingue in un mondo che cambia"

Abstract: 

Some are still struggling to cope with the basics of the web, while the possibilities to integrate it into the learning and teaching process have already developped - well, yes, enormously!
With the now nearly traditional web-research Gutenberg strategies were and are still in the centre of attention with information to be gathered, read and understood. That's fine with me and there are loads of interesting and rewarding experiences connected to those wonderful web-years.
And yet web.2 offers new attractive possibilities and challenges at the same time when blogs and podcasts are used in the learning process and the multimedia aspects of the web gain a much better access to the classroom, not only with youtube. Research and learning can be turned into a more public affair with web-publishing on the spot [in the blog] and various web-based methods melting together. This becomes definitely obvious when looking at e-learning platforms like moodle - and experiences from e-learning can be transferred to classroom-based web-learning as well.
All this will be shown and reflected with a glimpse at digital learning processes at school, at university and in the air with e-learning teachers of German worldwide.
