Now that you have some background knowledge about Web 2.0, do you think Web 2.0 is a new wave of innovation for teaching and learning? Is Web 2.0 the future of education? Your thoughts....
I'm hoping these tools make it EASIER for the students to use the computer to complete assignments, so that the technology is not getting in the way. THEN, these are wonderful tools.
I think there is a lot of potential here. It is good to learn and experiment with these new tools. However I woulnd't abandon the "old" ways. Human contact is always good especially at a small school like this one.
There's a lot of potential here for Web 2.0 tools to produce a classroom environment in which information ideas flow in multiple directions in a more efficient way. I will have to think hard about how to use these tools effectively, though, and figure out how to employ them without eating up too much of my time!
Students will likely find ways to use Web 2.0 whether we formally incorporate it into our classes or not. The example of the notetakers is a telling one.
For issues of equity and access in the sense of educational justice, the opportunity for all students (e.g. k-12) to be able to create knowledge via the use of technology suggests that being able to use technology in dealing with information seems that technology may by a dynamic aspect of the future of education.
I don't think that Web 2.0 would spell out the future for education just by giving the features it provides now. It does show the innovations that people can use to make education more effectively.
It is fun and intriguing to learn about the various tools and sites. I can see potential value. I wonder about the need to use some of the internet sites, when it seems that similar things can be accomplished on Blackboard. At this point, I do not see Web 2.0 as a radical new tool, and does not appear to be something that signals a "new" future of education

No, not yet.
Don't know enough yet but it seems it all depends on how you incorporate the tools.
If I can find the time to fugure it all out.

Kimberly-your 'profile' is great. Nice pics of the family!
I love Blogger! An incredibly versatile tool!
This is a frustrating experience. I represent the student who can't quite figure it all out.

As with any tool, its usefulness is a function of how effectively it is applied.
Yes, but it will take a long time before its usage becomes systemic.
