Tendonitis Along Pinky

where to begin?

I imagine a hypothetical colleague who has left intrigued by the "hearsay" and would like to understand what technology can do for him or her. Where can you start?

  1. First of all, a good knowledge of English does not hurt, since most of the services, at least to the most recent ones, have not (yet) interfaces in Italian.
  2. find a link a bit 'more experienced who is able to act as "mentors" know advise, guide, technical support.
  3. spend some time looking on the internet, drifting from the links, perhaps starting con una ricerca su Web 2.0 o su tecnologie in didattica.
  4. Iscriversi a qualche comunità online, magari orientata alla didattica o alle tecnologie in didattica, e partecipare alle discussioni.
  5. Provare i vari servizi che più lo incuriosiscono, creando l'account necessario. Ad esempio, aprire un blog, creare un wiki, fare del social bookmarking, crearsi una rete di contatti...
  6. Individuare un semplice progetto didattico in cui sperimentare, e decidere quale può essere il servizio Web 2.0 che più si attaglia al progetto scelto. Il confronto con esperti del settore può essere utile ad operare una scelta più mirata.
  7. Se gli studenti sono abbastanza maturi ed esperti, ci si può to help them to find and use the features of the tool of choice in the work on the project.
  8. Verify the results in terms of learning, participation, than any other indicator of assessment is considered important for the activity chosen. Perhaps for the first experiments in a real grid must be very flexible or even built in the pipeline.
  9. Share the results and reflections with your network of contacts with their peers in school.
  10. If possible, keep repeating these same points, maybe with someone else, or himself becoming a mentor to a colleague.
This is a bit 'what's happening to me, a little 'what I wish would happen in my school.
