Education 2.0 ...
... Richard McManus writes here about the impact of Web 2.0 on education:
"Take a look at what the education community is doing with the Web, for example. They are not only starting to use the tools of Web 2.0 - blogs, wikis, podcasts, etc. They're also adapting to a new generation of kids who are growing up on the Web, the so-called 'Digital Natives'. The challenge for educators now and for the future is to learn and teach Internet literacy, converse and collaborate with their students using Web tools, and help our children make sense of the huge amounts of information and media that surround us."
Here are some links on "Education 2.0", again by McManus at his blog on "Web 2.0" (http://www.readwriteweb.com).
And here is a good sum-up by Bryan Alexander on Schools and the Web 2.0.
