Thanks for the link on Networked Learning Bron, I've included it. --Yvonne 04:09, 7 December 2007 (CET)
"I was wondering what you were intending by the "Features" headings?".--bron 01:47, 13 November 2007 (CET)
-I just included this at the start of my idea but as the page developed it no longer fit with my idea, so 'features' heading was removed. --Yvonne 04:09, 7 December 2007 (CET)
I also have a couple of questions relating to the Issues for ‘blending’ section: --bron 01:47, 13 November 2007 (CET)
1. How could you address diverse skill levels when using web 2.0 tools - wikiEducator materials perhaps? sessions f2f as well?
- WikiEducator materials would be a great place to start - learn how the medium works whilst accessing links to helpful tutorials. F2F would be good for troubleshooting. Meetings with other subject teachers would be beneficial in deciding on how to best use the tools to blend with f2f lessons. --Yvonne 04:09, 7 December 2007 (CET)
2. I was wondering if Albion's site covered issues such as confidentiality and privacy around public blogs and teaching. It might be a good idea to make this more explicit - what do you think?
-I think you're right - teachers would need to be aware so that they can make students aware that confidentiality and privacy are important.--Yvonne 04:09, 7 December 2007 (CET)
3. would students and teachers be best to negotiate expectations or would you set ground rules?
-It depends. On the task, on the group dynamics, on ability levels, etc. although for A level students I would imagine setting some rules and then monitor progress and adapt. --Yvonne 04:09, 7 December 2007 (CET)
Yvonne - this page is looking great! I have added a link to the Networked learning page on WikiEducator as there is a lot of material and links already there about Using Web 2.0 tools which will save you some time. You can either link to it or take the bits you need - in this environment we can take and still need to acknowledge the authors.

Issues for ‘blending’
- Skill level and experience of learners will need to be considered when planning first use of these tools.
- Communicating effectively online is an issue and some thought will need to be given some rules/guidelines for writing in this medium. Try Albion's excellent netiquette resource page for more information.
- Expectations for student and facilitator will need to be explored early on in the process.
