with John Osborne

Hi!
Hi! Me? I'm John Osborne

Welcome! I hope
... and I'm a hungry

Web 2.0 - integrating the digital world into our activities in Science

There are so many different Web

2.0 apps and programmes. You
shall learn to use many of them,
most frequently Edpuzzle,
Nearpod, Padlet, Canva (which this
presentation is made on), Quizziz,
Flipgrid, LOOM and of course,
ZOOM.

Working together is

we think we know all the
answers and can do all the
learning on our own! Science
does not work like that!
