The purpose of Techcellent Wikitopia
is to provide clear instructions for using FREE Web 2.0 Technologies within the classroom.
The goal of Techcellent Wikitopia
is to help teachers prepare students for taking future online courses.
$ My Moneyback Guarantee $:
(Did I mention that ALL the tools listed below are FREE technologies?)
ANY individual who works her way through the following tutorials WILL be ready to take an online course!
| VIDEOCONFERENCING |
| How to set up Videoconferencing in Google Chat |
| How to download Skype |
| How to set up Videoconferencing using Skype |
After working through all the above modules, you have improved both your reading comprehension & the ability to follow directions!
These skills will serve you well while taking online courses!
The only skill left for you to improve (no matter how fast you currently are) is your typing ability.
Remember: The faster and more accurately you type, the faster you will finish your work!
| TYPING |
| How to improve your typing speed |
Disclaimers: Although nearly all Web 2.0 technologies are internet-based and accessible through any computer operating system platform;
as a fanatical Mac user, these instructions were specifially written while using Apple computers.
Additionally, the TITLE of each table links to my preferred online tool (and those that I will support for you).
Although I have selected to use each of the FREE tools identified, I do not receive any compensation for referring you to these companies,
nor do I claim that any of the above tools will be the "best fit" for meeting your specific needs.
If you wish to experiment with other online tools, the following site has a wonderfully comprehensive list that includes:
summarizing descriptions, required platforms, and direct links to each developer's site (unfortunately, instructions for use are not included).
DiRT: Digital Research Tools
Finally, although all these products are FREE for educational use,
many fine people have spent a tremendous number of work hours creating these tools.
If you find yourself regularly using any Web 2.0 technology,
please donate or pay for the upgraded package.
DO THE RIGHT THING
(and I promise it will come back to you in the end)!

As this is a continual work in progress, PLEASE let me know of any misspellings, grammatical errors, dead links, or unclear instructions.
Additionally, PLEASE send me the web addresses for any cool FREE Web 2.0 Tools that make good candidates for addition to the Techcellent Wikitopia.
Thanks,
Craig
