In the world of education and social networking Web 2.0 tools are powerful assests. I discovered an article that address some of the ups and downs of where Web 2.0 is headed. Take a gander at what Michael Rogers has to say in Can Web 2.0 Change the World?
And from Wired News reporter Ryan Sigel learn more about the buzz of people and Web 2.0 in his article, Are You Ready for Web 2.0?
Still not sure about this new buzz? Then take a look at Tim O'Reilly's, the one who coined the term, Web 2.0:Compact Definition?
Being that I am an educator I'm interested in where this will go in K-16 classrooms. How, what and when will these tools impact teachers in k-12, university professors,and school district administrators? Don't we in the digital immigrant world need to be considering the ways in which we will use these tools to reach the students who are digital natives? Think how we can bring cultures and learning together. Here are two teachers thinking on the cutting edge in Flat Classrooms These teachers are using Wikispaces, blogs and Skype to move learning to a new level. Too bad these tools are blocked for many school districts.
