using FREE web 2.0 tools for
collaborative learning
Collaborative learning is based on the idea that learning is a naturally social act in which the participants talk among themselves. Today, social media such as Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, YouTube, blogs, etc, powers many conversations and interactions. Social media has become ubiquitous and is now central to our personal and professional lives — impacting how we interact with others, consume information, and gain new skills and knowledge.
The question is, how can we leverage these social media technologies to promote collaborative learning among our students? In this workshop, we are going to discuss how designing and implementing collaborative learning environments can extend students’ learning and engagement.
