Abstract
Given the busy schedules of classroom teachers, professional development on technology integration has proven a complex proposition. The time required to develop expertise in an application is time taken away from teachers’ more pressing instructional responsibilities. Web 2.0 applications require less time to learn than traditional software, yet they provide practical tools for instruction. However, the challenge of how to provide timely professional development on Web 2.0 applications remains. This paper provides the results of an action research project where voluntary online instruction on Web 2.0 applications was provided to teachers at a public elementary school. Issues related to voluntary participation in online professional development, the efficacy of the online instruction, and the impediments to online professional development on Web 2.0 applications were examined.
