Collaborative Creation Of Open Educational Resources: Teachers In The Net Generation

This paper describes the approach followed by three European Founded projects in order to reduce the gap between teachers and Net Generation students. The students use the Web 2.0 environments to share, comment and tag different types of media collaboratively using social network sites. The evolution of the Sloop project results in the following Tenegen and Sloop2desc projects leads teachers to produce, share, comment, tag and modify Open Learning Resources, as their students are used to do on the Web 2.0. In fact, one of the most interesting challenges faced in the three projects was how to train teachers from traditional schools on the use of new tools and environments that support collaboration and sharing in a Web 2.0 perspective. The projects promote the use of social network activities with the aim of encouraging the collaborative production of learning objects thus developing collective intelligence.
