The hardest thing about picking a topic was to pick just one. There are several things that I would like to tackle. When it all came down to it though I realized that I am intent on increasing the usage of Web 2.0 tools in the classroom. I still had to figure out an approach for this. Did I want to examine the technology that is available in the classrooms to make recommendations for change in that area? Or did I want to focus on the teachers and their needs? I finally decided, after talking to my mentor, that I could probably attack both of these areas by focusing on the instructors. My plan is to develop training that will help teachers become more comfortable with using Web 2.0 tools in their classroom. I believe that if the teachers are familiar with the tools that are available then they can assess the technology in their classrooms and make their own recommendations based on their needs.
I look forward to taking on this project and seeing where it takes me. I work with an amazing group of educators that I believe will really be receptive to this process. I also think that our students will be excited to see us all embrace the Web 2.0 tools in our classes.
