** Group Summary (to be completed end of May, 2009) ** // - What worked well (successes)? // The Zeppers got a chance to compare and contrast various Web 2.0 tools for use in our classrooms. We shared our projects with each other and discussed how they could best be used. The example many of us chose was the Spaaze page as it proved to be an effective organizational and presentation tool. //The Wolf Creek security protocols fought us the entire way. Firstly it would not allow us to access the tool unless we authenticated; one member still cannot authenticate to the site to edit the project. There were also problems saving the work and would regularly lose connection to the site. Too much time was lost discussing and troubleshooting tech problems.// //- Any unanticipated results or effects?// <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Many of the tools are simple to use, which made them fun to work with. They can easily be a part of how a teacher presents and organizes material for students. //- What supports are needed to make this project repeatable?// <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Many of the tools are simple to use, which made them fun to work with. They can easily be a part of how a teacher presents and organizes material for students. //- Is any Administrative follow-up required?// //We don’t think so. We were visited throughout the project by Steve and he mentioned that the Zeppers were not only doing great, but seemed to be ahead of the curve.// ||
