Web 2.0
I still don't know much about Web 2.0. Sure, it's user editable content and is a way for everyone to be involved in a web page, but are there really any practical applications for it? I'm not entirely sold. Teachers could use it as a way for students to post different opinions on subjects and assign coursework, but do we really need all that? Can't we just show up to class? I think Web 2.0 has a lot of potential, but the social networking aspect of it is one I am already sick of, so I think my opinion has soured already. I think dispensing assignments and such will be the preferred avenue for me for now, but we'll see what the future holds. Maybe it's already time for Web 3.0.

ReplyDeleteI don't know who you are or where your coming from but I think I've got some idea where your going to. I've googled 'personal learning Environments" + Latest and its come up with your post. Ironic considering the tired cynicism that seems to flavour your post. The point is that personal learning environments are about facilitating "personal' learning not the dictates of some teacher directing the flow.
Now you an dI could have some dialogue about what we mean from personal learning environments and enrich each others understanding and isn't that the point.
