Welcome to Work Literacy's Web 2.0 for Learning Professionals!


Sponsored by Work Literacy and the eLearning Guild,.

The Work Literacy course ran from September 29 through November 7, 2008. Although new activities are no longer being added, the community and course content will remain online and we invite new participants to join in and explore the topics below.

Week 1- Social Networking--Ning, LinkedIn and Facebook

Week 2--Social Bookmarking and Tagging

Week 3-- Blogs

Week 4--Aggregators and RSS Feeds

Week 5--Wikis

Week 6--Pulling it all Together

Course participation is divided into three different levels:

* The Spectator--These are exercises or activities that should take approximately 15 minutes to complete. The Spectator level is for people who want just a quick exploration of the tools and minimal interaction.

* The Joiner/Collector--For those who want to delve more deeply into a particular Web 2.0 tool, the Joiner/Collector level consists of activities that take approximately 30 minutes to complete.

* The Creator--These activities are for people who want to really spend some time exploring and trying out a particular tool or set of tools. The activities take approximately 75 minutes to complete and will allow you to immerse yourself in the Web 2. 0 experience.

Note that based on your experience with the different tools and methods being explored, your involvement may take longer or shorter periods of time. You will also have complete flexibility to participate at different levels of activity each week. Our goal is to give a range of opportunities for people to learn about and explore various Web 2.0 tools and their implications for learning professionals in an environment that's fun, supportive and responsive to your needs and interests.

How Boys and Girls Learn Differently

At a primary school Manning, a small town 65 miles east of Columbia, South Carolina, second grade teachers Holly Garneau and Anna Lynne Gamble are convinced that segregating elementary-age boys and girls produces immediate academic improvement—in both genders.

Eager to capitalize on their past progress, the two created a teaching plan for the upcoming semester. The kids will be in a coed environment for homeroom, lunch, and recess, then divide up for four hours each day to learn their math, sci… Continue
