In this chapter it mentions that the teachers do not use all
the opportunities available to them to teach the students about
web 2.0. This is because some teachers do not know about all that is out there
or when they do have training they are not fully there because it is after
school hours. Some lessons are
taught out of the skill level they are on and they do not understand or they
are fast paced. By developing a
goal and working towards the goal they will be able to slowly adapt web 2.0
into the classrooms. With the blogging, podcasting, and wikis they can learn to collaborate and help each other.
Web 2.0 Tools that
help:
Blogging: provides
interaction between the face-to-face meetings.
Podcasting:
Made available to members who were unable to attend the
training.

great podcast
Wikis =
"One of the most exciting opportunites for professional development is to allow all members of a community to participate in the creation of a
goal, plan, or direction or to simply discuss the way a new activity
is working.Wikis present the ideal manner in which to accomplish this and, at the same time, educators learn about the potential for using this tool in their classrooms. " [Location 2211 of 5369]
The above about wikis really stood out to me and helped my understand more about wikis.

Productivity and professional
practices
Teachers use technology to enhance their productivity and professional practices. Teachers:
1. Use technology
resources to engage in ongoing professional development and lifelong
learning.
2 continually
evaluate and reflect on professional practice to
make informed decisions regarding the use of technology in
support of student learning.
3. Apply
technology to increase productivity.
4. Use technology to
communicate and collaborate with peers,
parents, and the larger community in order to nurture
student learning.
