Innovation continues to occur on the internet at an extremely lively pace. What was once the realm of email, FTP, Gopher, and the Web is barely recognizable a mere 10 years later. Keeping up with the speed of innovation and maintaining a familiarity with the most recent tools and capabilities is handy in some professions and absolutely critical in others. This course is designed to help you understand and effectively use a variety of "web 2.0" technologies including blogs, RSS, wikis, social bookmarking tools, photo sharing tools, mapping tools, audio and video podcasts, and screencasts.

WikiEducator is a dynamic and exciting community of educators who believe passionately that learning materials should be free and open to all.
The WikiEducator is an evolving community intended for the collaborative:
* planning of education projects linked with the development of free content; * development of free content on Wikieducator for e-learning; * work on building open education resources (OERs) on how to create OERs. * networking on funding proposals developed as free content.
It is common knowledge that Wikipedia--for all its convenience--is an unreliable source of information. It is impossible to verify authorship, as anyone with internet access is able to edit any entries on the website. However, the Wiki structure is an excellent means to provide and share information. On this webpage, I will demonstrate how educators may create and use their own Wiki pages for the benefit of their students. I will also provide examples of how this resource can be used.
