Interesting article on teaching web 2.0 on the internet

One of my students has written a brilliant blog entry on the use of web 2.0 in the classroom. This is well worth reading.

This is a really interesting blog entry, and really helps to identify potential stumbling points when teaching. Excellent post. 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

I love Michael's perspective on the collaborative friction that is being reduced by the introduction of new tools and methods, more each day. But what does it mean? "And even if you take the leap most of the time no one comes with you!" He mentions that Blackboard and other course management tools are extremely rigid and that the idea of having to post some inane comments on a certain day and so many each week do not promote his learning.

Michael says "the upcoming framework is extremely flexible. I think the students who want to ‘flex’ are going to do so in spite of whatever structure has been set up. They will work outside of the system."

Let's get ready to take the leap with them, and teach THESE students before we lose them.
