//Fragmentation to Synthesis: How do we collect and recommend tools to each other?//
 * Web 2.0 Tools**

Bill Campbell arvind grover Erica Hoffman Peter Hourigan Russel Neiss Anne Rowley - @amrowley Eric Sanders

1. Identify the needs 2. What are our current practices 3. Recommendations

What tools do we use/suggest? Why are things so fragmented? What tools are actually useful? Where do we 'post' this information? ('virtual commons') How do we organize these suggestions?

Why is this important? How do we communicate these?

Discovering teachers' needs and addressing them

Idea - discovery - solution

How do our schools currently communicate discoveries?

Tools to encourage teaching and learning

Fragmentation may be more democratic, but it is less powerful

Start with the question: What is the purpose?

Tagging vs. searching

How do we support all of these tools?

Students - keeping track of tools

How do we communicate recommendations to each other? PLN Twitter

Dashboard - resources for school - 'social network'

Don't touch other people's computers when helping them

Live.edu?

Technologies for teachers (list based on skills kids need): Must know Good to know Can use and we'll support Anything not on this list we won't support

What can we support?

What adaptability skills do students need? How do we help them be flexible? Teaching applications, not software Transference of skills

Is control dead?

Examples: Pinterest Diigo

Challenges: Having students/faculty sign up for multiple accounts
