The first comment I have about web 2.0 is how great classrooms would be if technology was used like the teachers and students in the article. The students' enthusiasm for learning was powerful. Allowing students to guide their learning makes them more motivated to participate. You would think that communication skills would be diminished by lack of in person conversation, but the article stated just the opposite. The students learned to think critically. Posting where others would be evaluating their writing resulted in being more aware of what and how they wrote.
Integration of other subjects, cross-curricular planning, kids actively involved, motivated learners, the opportunity for parents to be engaged in their child's learning what more could you ask for. Now all I have to do is learn how to do this.
The possibility this technology offers is great. I want to know how to "syndicate" and "aggregate."
