Tech-Talk Tuesday: Where to get started with Web 2.0?

Are you an educator who is interested in integrating ICT into your lessons? Do you hear about the exciting learning opportunities that technology offers to students, but want to find out more from others before you dive in head first? Then Tech-Talk Tuesdays are for you!

This professional learning network has been established to create an informal weekly discussion around technology in education. This session is open to all Victorian educators; we ensure a supportive environment and welcome people with all levels of experience with ICT!

In this session, we will discuss some ideas for the easiest places to start when venturing into the world of Web 2.0. Bring along your own ideas and strategies to share, or simply come along and learn from the discussion.
