Web 2.0 in Education from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_2.0#Web_2.0_in_education
Web 2.0
technologies provide teachers with new ways to engage students, and even allow
student participation on a global level. However, children raised exclusively
in the era of new media technologies are less patient with activities such as
completion of worksheets and classroom lectures. Decreased participation in a
traditional classroom may be due to better feedback received online.
Will Richardson
stated in Blogs, Wikis, Podcasts and other Powerful Web tools for the
Classrooms, 3rd Edition that, "The Web has the potential to radically
change what we assume about teaching and learning, and it presents us with
important questions to ponder: What needs to change about our curriculum when
our students have the ability to reach audiences far beyond our classroom
walls?"
Web 2.0 tools are needed in the
classroom to prepare both students and teachers for the shift in learning that
Collins and Halverson describe. According to Collins and Halverson, the
self-publishing aspects as well as the speed with which their work becomes
available for consumption allows teachers to give students the control they
need over their learning. This control is the preparation students will need to
be successful as learning expands beyond the classroom."
By allowing
students to use the technology tools of Web 2.0, teachers are giving students
the opportunity to share what they learn with peers. Some are concerned that
these technologies could hinder the personal interaction of students:
"Social networking sites have worried many educators (and parents) because
they often bring with them outcomes that are not positive: narcissism, gossip,
wasted time, 'friending', hurt feelings, ruined reputations, and sometimes
unsavory, even dangerous activities".
