Project description: I’ve created a school wiki as a folder substitute. Students from Kindergarten to Middle school are free to choose among several Web 2.0 tools to enhance their learning. The school project is divided into three different stages: Stage 1: Learning English through games Stage 2: Using different Web 2.0 tools to create content Stage 3: Project based Learning Tools: Use of asynchronous tools, synchronous tools, m-learning, online collaborative projects, Skype, Web 2.0 tools, videos, games and iPads in the classroom, all of which the school staff found both interesting and motivating. Moreover, the school staff enjoyed the fact that they could think outside the box, using technology in the classroom while inviting parents to work with their children at home.
