Characteristics of (most) Web 2.0 or Read/Write Web tools:
- The web is the platform.
- Sharing is inherent to the tool.
- Tools facilitate communication and interaction.
What are teachers and students doing with technology in the classroom?
- Consider the October 2005 Edutopia responses to "What technology is most effective in the classroom?"
- Of the 10, only 1 references student creation of multimedia products (#1), the rest focus on sustaining (rather than disruptive) technology uses to support traditional content/teacher centered instruction.
Some guiding educational principles:
- Education is a conversation not an exercise in regurgitation on demand.
- Education is a journey, not a football game or a track race.
- Experiences and relationships transform perceptions and thereby transform people.
Web 2.0 represents a fundamental revolution in communication no less important or transformative than the invention of the Guttenburg printing press.
The conversation is global, ongoing, and you are invited. Hold onto your hats, because "you ain't seen nuthin' yet!"
