Technology Toolkit is a resource for all Australian and New Zealand primary and secondary school teachers. It clearly and simply explains the Web 2.0 technology and how it can be utilised and implemented in a classroom situation to engage students and facilitate learning.
Technology Toolkit covers topics such as RSS (Really Simple Syndication), Podcasting, Wikis, Blogs, Repositories, Applications and Social Bookmarking. Case Studies are provided from Australian and New Zealand teachers who are currently implementing this into their classroom. Safety factors that teachers need to be aware of are discussed.
Technology Toolkit is a gentle, understandable introduction to this new technology. The accompanying CD-ROM gives valuable information for teachers on how to utilise this technology should they choose to.
The website will provide blog updates to keep material current and give teachers an avenue for asking questions and discussing issues.
