In order to become a successful 21st century teacher, you must integrate different Web 2.0 tools into your lessons. There are many new Web 2.0 tools that are currently being used in different classrooms all around the world.
 |
| This is a web that shows some of the many Web 2.0 Tools that could be used by the students and by you (the teacher). |
One of the Web 2.0 Tools that can be integrated into your classroom is "Scratch".
With Scratch, you can program your own interactive stories, games, and animations — and share your creations with others in the online community.
Scratch helps young people learn to think creatively, reason systematically, and work collaboratively, which are essential skills for life in the 21st century.
Scratch is a project of the Lifelong Kindergarten Group at the MIT Media Lab. It is provided free of charge.
The MIT Media Lab's Lifelong Kindergarten group, led by Mitchel
Resnick, and its Montreal-based consulting company Playful Invention Company,
co-funded by the latter with Brian Silverman and Paula Bonta, together
developed the first desktop-only version of Scratch in 2003. Since 2007,
projects could be shared online with other users and the shared projects could
be "remixed" (i.e. saved with changes) by other users.
Since the introduction of Scratch version 2.0, custom blocks can be
defined by a user within a project.
