I am beginning to finally understand the Web 2.0 philosophy. The moving away from the web being just a tool for information to becoming the center of our "new digital lifestyle" as stated in the article Web 2.o. Blogs, wikis, websites, email, messaging, videos, pics, and other formats I know little of, are all collaborating in the learning experience.
The line from Wikipedia's entry on Library 2.0, "the need for Libraries to adopt a strategy for constant change while promoting a participatory role for library users," helps to illustrate another aspect of collaboration.
The video, A Vision of Student's Today, was very good and helped me to better understand what my son will probably experience as he heads off to college. Our traditional methods of instructing and imparting knowledge are quickly being outdated.
Now I guess we just need Education 2.0!
I completely agree with your thought on the video and how traditional method of instructing and imparting knowledge is becoming quickly outdated. That video should be required viewing by ALL teachers at the SBISD convocation...(or has that been done before...)
