Welcome/ Rationale

We are a teacher-librarian and a teacher who created this blog in order to share our resources and ideas with other TLs and classroom teachers. More importantly, it is a place to meet our colleagues in order to dialogue, share, collaborate and gain experience with Web 2.0 tools.

This blog is merely a work in progress because the possibilities of using Web 2.0 are endless. It is meant to be a starting point to inspire your own ideas, applications and creations. The Web 2.0 tools represent a myriad of infinite learning opportunities for student and teacher exploration.

If Web 2.0 is as Tim O'Reilly states, "harnessing collective intelligence" and sharing "the wisdom of crowds," then we as educators must be immersed in this process.

We hope that you will be able to benefit from this blog as a springboard for further learning. Remember, we require "your wisdom" if indeed we can nurture "collective intelligence" within this simple blog.

We look forward to hearing from you!
