 * Web 2.0 Curriculum for NISC – Blogs, Pods, Wikis, and YouTube**

Lesson Notes more than a lesson plan. It's basically just the outline for the content of the wiki. Feel free to change anything you want.

Session length: **25 minutes**

Goal – Provide attendees with a better understanding of and possible use of: Web2.0 BlogSession WikiSession PodSession VideocastSession Definitions - short definitions of terms like RSS feeds, folksonomies, WSRI, ELGGs. You can add more. ParentPlayPage for parents to edit, add information, etc. to a wiki

This is a lot to cover in 25 minutes so I’ve set up wiki pages for the class for sharing as well as teaching purposes. I hope this will elminate the need for major handouts and note taking since the parents will be able to access everything about the session via the wiki. Curriculum Home Page

In each section, allow time for questions and comments. Ask for attendees ideas for uses for each Web 2.0 tool as the topics are discussed.
