More slaves exist today than at any point in history. This one-hour interactive presentation will demonstrate how, through the use of free web 2.0 tools, a teacher can still deliver “traditional” curriculum while using social justice and media literacy to increase student engagement and develop empathy.

Topics will include:
-Wikis
-Google Docs
-Video production tools
-Copyright rules
