Connections of Web 2.0 to Learning Theory and Goals

 * from //Edutopia//**



[|Why Integrate Technology into the Curriculum?: The Reasons Are Many]
“Effective tech integration must happen across the curriculum in ways that research shows deepen and enhance the learning process. In particular, it must support four key components of learning: active engagement, participation in groups, frequent interaction and feedback, and connection to real-world experts. Effective technology integration is achieved when the use of technology is routine and transparent and when technology supports curricular goals. “

A Prezi is another interesting Web 2.0 tool for presenting content that is is usually presented sequentially through a PowerPoint slide presentation. Think of a Prezi as the concept mapping version of a slide presentation. Of course the difference between PowerPoint and a Prezi is that PowerPoint is firmly based in the Web 1.0 world whereas a Prezi can exist only in a Web 2.0 world.

To better understand what a Prezi is, watch the YouTube video entitled - media type="youtube" key="pxhqD0hNx4Q?rel=0" height="279" width="448"
