**Gap**: We all know how important it is to keep our students actively engaged in today’s classroom with so many other distractions out there. Today’s students are tech savvy and in order to keep them engaged and excited in the teaching and learning environment we must use new technologies that available to us. With harder and more demanding standards to teach we must find new ways to get the content to the students. The new web 2.O technology tools will aid in keeping the students active in the learning environment. Most of the people signing up for this class will be new to creating a video for teachertube and a wiki site to house their lessons.

Workshop Agenda - In this workshop you will learn how to create a wiki for your class to enhance student engagement. In addition to learning about the wiki you will learn how to create an educational video using digital cameras, iphone and other video technology. You will learn how to post that video on teacher tube for classroom use or to link to your wiki. Please visit the Agenda page for more detail on the workshop.
