TWT2010_27.+Science+2.0+-+Enhancing+Your+Science+Curriculum+with+Web+2.0+Applications

Description:
Current research suggests that girls have a preference for a wide range of instructional strategies and techniques in science education. Girls become more fully engaged in their science courses when the information is presented in a social and ethical context, as opposed to a science pedagogy that is objective, content-laden, and value free. During this presentation, the effective integration of Web 2.0 applications to promote collaboration and to reduce the demonstrated technology deficit among girls will be discussed. A comprehensive list of pedagogically-sound Web 2.0 applications and programs, such as blogging, podcasting and the use of classroom iPod Touches will be reviewed along with strategies for integration and assessment.
