The Real Web 2.0 .Com

I am annoyed when students are texting during class, I think it’s rude and inappropriate. If we were working on a technology lesson then maybe the phones would have a place in the classroom, but otherwise I think they need to be put away. Share your Learning Adventure 2.0 with your students and you will all benefit from the experience. As Greg Carroll noted, many Web 2.0 tools are going to be in line with many students??? Doug Noon talks about how ???kids need to take part in their creation???, which highlights a constructivist approach.

Students are using their own tools for their own (informal) learning already: Childnet’s recent report on social networkin g says as much. Yet, we still have huge resistance at a systemic level to opening up access to social media tools from within the one-room schoolhouses on our planet, with fear getting in the way of education . A multiliterate teacher understands the many ways that technology relates to scholarship and preparing students for a fast changing future, therefore she/he is flexible while actively adapting and redesigning learning to meet the 21st Century learner?s needs. Teacher 2.0 means developing a high degree of adaptive expertise and a love for innovation. What was rather charming and extraordinary about this project was that from the very beginning, some of the teachers were sixteen or seventeen-year-old students at one of the four high schools in Manresa. These young people took part in a course of twenty hours in which they learned how to teach adults, how to motivate them, how to explain things about ICT to them, how to speak in front of a class of adults, etc.

As the keynote speaker at “Beyond the Web: Connecting to the World,” the Hudson Valley Writing Project’s (HVWP) first technology conference, he told the 70 conference participants—some eager, some reticent—that Web 2.0 was changing the way students learn. During our wow’s Sharon brings in Dennis Richards - he is a Superintendent in Massachusetts - http://innovation3.blogspot.com/,? to talk about the wave of technology sweeping the upcoming ASCD conference. Vicki is out for most of May attending to her familiy. By the time I arrived I had missed the first part of the conference. She made me work through my lunch time so I missed the lovely sandwiches the conference centre provided for us.

I was a bit anxious about running the session, because educational technology and e-learning is a huge field. I read the excellent edutech blogs of Ewan McIntosh and others, but there was no way - within time and budget - that I could research and develop a substantial presentation, or even invite in a co-presenter. I am hoping that it will help with sound clarity on uStream sessions. I will be using it in the next few weeks, I will report back on how it is working!

I think (I hope) that the output has once again improved, as Carlos added his own part on blogging in the classroom, besides valuous contributions to the whole. Pity is that 5,500 words is not really plenty of space to deal with all the matters we wanted to, and the balance among a “diffusion paper” and an “academic paper” is quite a difficult thing to accomplish: you’re asked to be both, and each kind of reader thinks it’s not either. This is why I like to write blogs more than produce podcasts - the production values are far lower. Anyway, I’m going to have a late lunch and that will hopefully give me the force to try again and see what comes out.
