Consultancy services
I offer a variety of consultancy and advice services to a wide range of clients.
I specialise in providing workshops, training, and information seminars on the use of Web 2.0 technologies in education — from schools to universities to the public service. My background in social anthropology means that I am in a privileged position to act as a ‘cultural translator’ between students and yourself to help you get the most out of your teaching.
The services I provide will give you a grounding in
- Net Gen culture and how they are using the web
- Web 2.0 tech and tools freely available to you to use in class
- How you can teach students to use Web 2.0 tools to their best advantage (for example, it’s one thing to say ‘write a blog post for this assignment’, but quite another for you, the teacher, to know what actually makes for a ‘good’ blog post for assessment!).
- Setting up wikis and blogs
- Creating, editing and publishing podcasts
Here’s a list of some of the workshops and seminars I can run for you, amongst others:
- Using emerging technologies for professional development
- What is Web 2.0 and who are the Net Generation?
- Web 2.0 tech and tools for the classroom
