On Thursday, 21st April 2011, I had a presentation about "Social Web in Teacher Education and Teacher Training" at the Studiecentrum Open Universiteit in Eindhoven. This presentation was part of the Share.TEC event about "Het gebruik van digitale collecties leermaterialen" for dutch teachers in service, teacher educators and trainers, and teacher students.

Social Web in Teacher Education and Teacher Training

In my presentation I gave an overview of available web tools and services that are useful for teaching and learning. Together, we identified application scenarios in education and discussed opportunities and limitations of the tools and services for their effective use. The participants shared their experiences and ideas about the use of social web for learning and teaching.

In the slides I clarified the terms "Social Web", "Web2.0", "Social Software", and "Social Media". I gave an overview of available web tools and services assigned to different topics. For every topic I mentioned application scenarios for teaching and learning.
