Web2.0 Tools allow collaboration between users, sharing of information and ease of communication. Some examples of Web2.0 are Facebook, Twitter, Wikipedia, You Tube and Formspring. In the video Web2.0 In Education there are many advantages mentioned in using these tools. One of the advantages is that people from different countries can interact with one another in term of Education. A disadvantage mentioned is about safety and privacy.]]> 2017-05-02 21:53:22 UTC https://padlet.com/antoinette_galea/p6ttrfpf4ppt/wish/169553655 Antoinette Galea My Learning Diary Web2.0 Tools antoinette_galea https://padlet.com/antoinette_galea/p6ttrfpf4ppt/wish/170329430 in Education

Hello. I am Antoinette Galea and I am a Complementary Teacher. I have been teaching for the past 18 years and my experience varies from being a Secondary school teacher, a Primary teacher and now I am a Complementary teacher. I teach at St.Benedict’s College, Żurrieq Primary. I teach students aged 8 to 11. I love my job as students' progress fulfills me with great satisfaction. In my classroom I have a computer and we use it to read e books or PowerPoints which I upload in my room on ILearn. Many students read the books I upload at home too. I enrolled in this course so that I would learn more about Web Tools 2.0.

In this video I learned that students can be more motivated when using technology but meaningful learning must take place. When using these tools a teacher must keep in mind that the tool used must engage students to be
- critical
- the tool can be used in different applications
- it has to put control in the hands of the students rather than the software
-learners must learn
-students must not be exposed to advertisements which are inappropriate to the school setting.

This video helped me to create my first Padlet and to be able to write my Learning Diary. In this part I also focused to think about ways I can use the Padlet in the classroom. Some lesson ideas I thought about were

· Students upload an image of an interesting site situated in their village or town and then they write some information about it.

· They upload an image of their favourite painting and write some information about the artist.

· A good topic to discuss with students is internet safety. They can share a video about how to keep safe online. A discussion in class can follow.

· After a shared reading session, students can write on the padlet the name of their favourite character. This information can be used to make a bar graph during a maths lesson.

· Students can also share information about their favourite character.

· The teacher can upload an image and students can write different adjectives to describe that image.

As I teach Literacy To Students I can use it by asking these questions.

-What rhymes with hat?
-Can you find 5 nouns in the story we read?
-Write some adjectives to describe yourself.
-What is your favourite colour?
-The colour you chose makes you think about .....
