Dangling+Conversations

A few weeks after the CECA conference, I am wondering about the impact that Web 2.0 will have on education, on our work in Ed Tech, and the needs of educators all over the state.

Here is an unfiltered list of thoughts stemming from a variety of sources: 1. CECA podcasting fallout (was listening to David Warlick earlier tonight) 2.Conversations with other folks doing similar work, like Clint and James. 3. An emerging sense that we need to accelerate our research and practice to find contemporary tools for teaching and learning. 4. An editorial in the Hartford Courant today (or the Boston Globe last week) about the inability of educational institutions to follow through on //**reform**// efforts if there is not a change in structure and staffing.

To research, understand, explore, evaluate “this is how we learn in the 21st century...” D. Warlick

Web 2.0 & education: where’s the connection? Tim O’Reilly & Web 2.0: that was then, this is now (see the chart)
