Learn360 Helping to Create Digital Media in the Classroom

The backbone of WEB 2.0 is the ability to create, share and help. This is also a great foundation for communities off line and on. This year at FETC, AIM Education released an upgraded fully blown out edition of Learn360. This application seeks to put WEB 2.0’s backbone into our classrooms, by establishing a social network service for schools via providing images, streaming video and audio from publishers such as National Geographic, PBS and a variety of third party developers. Through Learn 360 teachers and students can create their own content to share with others using the network. This creates a great opportunity for schools to keep up with technology and broaden their resources in a digital age.

Some of the new features are:

- More formats to accommodate user uploading and sharing.
- More capabilities for assignment and quiz creation.
- A classroom blog creation tool.
- Expanded catalog of pre-generated activities and teacher guides
- Support for uploading podcasts.

All this comes with a Flash-based tutorial to help teachers and students learn all the nuances of the program. Learn360 is available now. To learn more about the program or how to order click here.
