Mano and Bonnie http://sigtel.iste.wikispaces.net/ SIGTEL and SIGDE cosponsor Forum at NECC 2009 CyberLearning for ALL Students for Success (CLASS) Learn to create CyberLearning environments using various communication and networking technologies, and other applications such as Mashup to enable ALL students, including children with special needs to participate in telecollaborative projects or in online courses. Learn about existing collaborative projects created for your students. We will also discuss how to provide professional development for new online teachers. Speakers are: Bonnie Thurber, Jeff Sale, and Aaron Doering Date: June 29 Time 12 noon to 4 pm Jeff Sale - Presentation Focus: A mashup, according to Google, is "a Web site that combines content data from more than one source to create a new user experience". This session will introduce mashups to K-12 educators focusing on collaborative approaches to mashup creation in a variety of disciplines including science, politics, society, art, and history. We will demonstrate how students from different parts of the world can work together to create mashups that help them learn about other communities and cultures, with an emphasis on map-based mashups that are very accessible to teachers and their students. The process by which students can work together to create a group-based geo-referenced image mashup with be shown in detail. More sophisticated and even some entertaining mashups as well as mashup authoring tools will be introduced, and links to a fuller introduction to these tools will be provided. Applications to be demonstrated include Google Earth, the Google Mashups Editor, and Microsoft Popfly. Participants will attain a basic understanding of mashup development technologies, examples of mashups useful in education, collaborative tools used to support mashup creation, and they will be provided with an account on the SDSC Discover Data Portal, a collaborative education portal built with Moodle, to continue their mashup explorations following the workshop.
