Recursos da Web 2.0 e suas contribuições na prática pedagógica do ensino de Biblioteconomia

Abstract

Discuss about the use of web 2.0 resources in teaching practice to support the process of teaching/learning. We report the experience developed during the "Informatics applied to librarianship II" discipline of the University Federal de Alagoas (UFAL) Librarianship Course, during the first half of 2011. The aim was to analyze the possibility of using web 2.0 resources as methodological contributions to that discipline. It was created a hastag for monitoring and discussion of the subject on Twitter. Through manual search in Twitter itself and use the Topsy Platform it was monitored 514 messages shared by students and teacher. Examines the participation and engagement of students in the discipline through: the distribution of messages per month, day of week and time of day; interactivity, seen from the mentions, replies and retweets. The results are a distributive and continuous learning in which the topics discussed overcomes the space-time limitations of the classroom, with active involvement and autonomy exercise  by the students.
