Browsing Ewan McIntosh's del.icio.us bookmarks this morning, I discovered links to three great interviews from teachers discussing their use of Web 2.0 tools in the classroom as part of Futurelab's Teachers as Innovators project.
The interviewees were Ray le Couteur, David Noble and Doug Belshaw who gave honest and practical answers to the following questions:
- How would you describe Web 2.0 tools?
- Where did you find out about these tools and what led to you using them - in general terms?
- Which ones are you using?
- Describe each in turn….
- Why did you introduce the tool?
- How did you begin to use the tool?
- How does the tool support teaching and learning?
- How do you see the tool developing in the 21st century?
- What resistances/barriers to implementation were there and how they were they overcome?
- What tips or guidance would you give for teachers new to this tool?
- What other web links would prove useful for future innovators?
To find out exactly what they said click on the links above.
Thanks for pointing this out, Joe - I didn't realise the interview was online yet! :-)
