 * WEB2opedia has been developed as a resource for the IB educators and is associated with two new IB developments: Web 2.0 in the IB Classroom on the Online Curriculum Center (OCC) and the new online IB course "Web 2.0 in the IB Classroom". Visitors to this site are encouraged to participate in the OCC Discussion Forum and share their experiences in integrating web 2.0 technologies in their classrooms.**=====


 * [[image:photo_berlin_wall_and_me.JPG width="218" height="315" align="left"]] || **This photo was taken in front of a part of the Berlin Wall. No one ever imagined that the Berlin Wall would be taken down. It just suddenly happened in 1989 and now 20 years later, we are witnessing the impact of the chain reaction that was unleased.

The Berlin Wall in some ways symbolizes current approaches to teaching and learning. Ripples of change are already happening and we can work together** **to facilitate change in creating new exciting teaching and learning environments.

WEB2opedia is about learning new tools and exploring how they can be used in IB classrooms. Most important of all, WEB2opedia is about the impact that social networking and collaboration between IB educators can have in international education.

In Berlin it is possible to buy postcards with a plastic inlay containing a small piece of the Berlin Wall enabling visitors to part of the Wall away with them. In the same way it is unlikely that most IB teachers will be able to embrace the wide range of web 2.0 technologies that are available. However, each person can take away a piece of web 2.0 that will make a difference in their classroom.** ||

**WEB2opedia focuses on: **

 * =====**best practices in using web 2.0 tools and techniques in IB programmes (PYP, MYP and DP)**=====
 * =====**examples that can be adapted to IB programmes**=====
 * =====**providing opportunities for teachers to expand their Personal Learning Networks (PLN) through social networking with IB colleagues**=====
 * =====**links to web 2.0 resources**=====
 * =====**tutorials for learning how to use web 2.0 in the IB classroom**=====
