Rationale

The workshops will enhance technology literacy and improve technology skills. Faculty, staff, and administration will have the opportunity to exchange ideas, and learn about different teaching methods and techniques. These experiences will be incorporated into classroom teaching and department responsibilities. As instructors of technology-related subjects, it is necessary to stay current with new processes, ideas, and methods. Attending these workshops will give teachers the opportunity to explore these areas and bring the new information to their classroom.

What is Web 2.0

A category of new Internet tools and technologies created around the idea that the people who consume media, access the Internet, and use the Web shouldn't passively absorb what's available; rather, they should be active contributors, helping customize media and technology for their own purposes, as well as those of their communities (O’Reilly, 2004).
