About the Class

The new educational model that is emerging with the introduction of ICT in the classroom and in particular the powerful collaboration tools and social networks of Web 2.0, is progressively changing the role of the teacher and the student, transforming the learning experience in a thrilling adventure of mutual discovering. Due to its enormous potential for collaborative work, wikis are increasingly being used, their application possibilities are many and varied, mostly in asynchronous cooperating between teacher-student, student groups, and groups of teachers. Gladys Gahona and Nellie Deutsch have been collaborating online on Wikieducator, a powerful wiki platform and various web tools and social networks, developing content, facilitating workshops, moderating live online sessions, networking with other peers. Meet Wikieducator, an international community of educators to collaborate and share content.
Gladys Gahona and Nellie Deutsch have been collaborating in the development of online workshops for a number of months at WikiEducator, an international community dedicated to the design, development, and delivery of free content for learning. In this seminar they will introduce us to the many opportunities available to educators to learn from others, to collaborate on curriculum projects, and to explore new technologies that will improve educational access and quality.
