This Learning Center Course is designed to explore several new free web-based applications to engage students in new and powerful ways. These free web applications emphasize collaboration and social networking. Our students are already connected and networked, so these tools tap into that environment to facilitate the learning process.

If wireless is available, those with laptops can immediately get hands-on experience with many of these applications, including audio, video, music playlists, photos, wikis, instant messaging, social bookmarking, Twitter, Web Office, RSS, and more.

All information will be available for participants’ use after the course through this wiki – a good example of a Web 2.0 technology.
