Education today is much more than just learning with textbooks, paper and pencils. The 21st century classroom is about being researchers, collaborators, contributors and creators as well as achieving knowledge and skills in the core academic areas. Web 2.0 tools such as blogs, wikis, podcasts, digital storytelling and microblogs are being increasingly used to help students achieve the expectations of the contemporary classroom. While these tools offer many benefits to students with diverse learning needs, the integration of AT with these tools opens many more opportunities for all students to be successful users of these tools. This hands-on workshop will focus on understanding popular Web 2.0 tools, how these tools are being used in the classroom, and how a variety of assistive technologies can be integrated with Web 2.0 tools to allow all students to become effective users of these tools. Gain knowledge and skills related to the uses of Web 2.0 tools in the classroom and experience using a variety of assistive technologies to foster the use of Web 2.0 tools in your classroom.
