This session will demonstrate ways to use various technology tools to enhance teaching and learning. Many free audio, video, and Web 2.0 tools are available, but finding the right tools can be challenging. This session provides an introduction to various audio, video, and web 2.0 tools that have been used in an online setting. Participants will explore 8-10 audio, video, and web 2.0 tools, view practical examples that illustrate meaningful ways to use these tools, and generate ideas through discussion on how to use these tools in the classroom.

This will be accomplished through a presentation and discussion of the following topics: • Which free audio, video, and web 2.0 tools exist ? • How do audio, video, and web 2.0 tools help to provide for learner-centered environments that use technology to meet individual, diverse needs of learners? • What are some practical examples of how to use audio, video, and web 2.0 tools to stimulate and enhance teaching and learning? • How can audio, video, and web 2.0 tools be used in your own classes?
