More about the Web2.0 showcase

South Australian educators have an opportunity to participate in a free Web2.0 showcase - All you wanted to know but were too afraid to ask! on September 21st at Technology School of the Future in Adelaide. Graham Wegner has already provided some advance publicity on his blog, 'Teaching Generation Z' and I'm looking forward to co-presenting with Graham, Al Upton, Mike Seyfang and Deanne Bullen.
The showcase promises to provide "an introduction to some of the collaborative Web2.0 resources that are quick, easy ... collaborative, connected and empowering for kids and teachers" and capitalises on the interest generated by numerous presentations and workshops on this theme at the recent CEGSA Conference.
Judy O'Connell on heyjude has also been ‘showcasing’ Web 2.0 ‘All Your Own Work’ in a Web 2.0 World' at a seminar in NSW.
Judy's "aim was to encourage teachers and teacher-librarians to re-examine what it means to create a community of enquiry for themselves and for their students…by participating in new forms of information organization and sharing…..like social bookmarking, wiki, and blogs."
Congratulations to Judy who has just celebrated her "quarter of a year blogging" milestone and become a favourite with many edubloggers.
