Workshop ideas for using Web 2.0.

Gather with colleagues...

Discuss your own use of technologies with the group:

How would you apply using these technologies in your institution/professional practice?
What are the limitations of Web 2.0 principles?
Successes - can you share your own or ones you have experienced?

Decide:

Who is in your networks?
How do they operate?

Can you map them? with a very very quick mind map...

Then...

Choose an audience to communicate with - words/pictures/audio-visual...

Write a new blog or twitter (140 characters) for a target audience of your choice.  This could be on your laptop or paper...

You may want to :

• explain 
• celebrate
• inform
• prompt
• promote
• share something new
• engage with topical issue 
• add photos, drawings or diagrams (think about copyright issues for images and words)
• add links or audiovisual 

What have your discovered doing this exercise?

Share with the wider workshop aspects of your discussions or a new blog with the workshop participants.
