Noticeboard

Udnyt Web 2.0 i undervisningen

Hvis du gør dine læringsforløb til en oplevelse er der større chancer for, at dine elever bliver mere engagerede og bedre husker det de har lært. Den såkaldt ’Read-Write Web’, også kaldt Web 2.0, giver mange flere muligheder for at bringe verden ind til klasselokalet.

Web 2.0 er betegnelsen for, at det nu er nemt og billigt at bruge internettet til publicering og kommunikation og dermed bruge nettet meget mere aktivt.
