For teachers who attend sessions or workshops online and also with my high school students, whom I meet in class but who are also learning how to use the different Web 2.0 tools, I have a number of screencasts and tutorials I put on a wiki page in case they need to recap later on at home. You will notice that most of these tutorials are not mine - they have been made by other educators around the world, so no need to reinvent the wheel - it is just a matter of finding them online. See: http://openwebpublishing.wikispaces.com/FAQ2 Some time ago, I made a little booklet online for teachers to learn how to use blogs but it must be outdated by now as Blogger has changed its dashboard since then. You can always have a look at how it was done: http://beewebhead.net/blog04/ Aiden has done the same with Bubbleshare. I find wikis easier to blogs for posting tutorials and links as other teachers can add to your resource list. I use blogs mostly for comments. It is important for learners to document their learning journey on blogs and have other people read and comment on it. Examples: Teachers: http://lainemarsh.wordpress.com/ http://namckeand.wordpress.com/ EFL High School Students: http://klara22.wordpress.com/evaluation-06/ http://maela08.wordpress.com/evaluation-2006/ I also find it useful to have a list of technical benchmarks covering what should have been completed after a certain time so they can check before being evaluated.
