7. What is Web 2.0? “ Web 2.0 is about the more human aspects of interactivity. It's about conversations, interpersonal networking, personalization...” George Lorenzo, Diana Oblinger and Charles Dziuban (2007) http://www.educause.edu/apps/eq/eqm07/eqm0711.asp?bhcp=1 “ Web 2.0 has blurred the line between producers and consumers of content and has shifted attention from access to information towards access to other people.” John Seely Brown & Richard P. Adler (2008) Minds on Fire - Open Education, The Long Tail and Learning 2.0 http://connect.educause.edu/Library/EDUCAUSE+Review/MindsonFireOpenEducationt/45823?time=1201604527

George Lorenzo, Diana Oblinger & Charles Dziuban (2007) How Choice, Co-Creation, and Culture Are Changing What It Means to Be Net Savvy http://www.educause.edu/apps/eq/eqm07/eqm0711.asp?bhcp=1 http://www.poly.asu.edu/elearning/images/cartoon.jpg

56. (E-)learning 2.0 “ We are moving into a new era of sharing content, collaborating and syndicating learning materials online. This is not just about learning content but about developing new ways of learning.” Jane Knight, Learning Light, 2007 Traditionally e-learning has focussed on content delivery and consumption by students. In moving to e-learning 2.0 there is greater emphasis on connections , context and learning as a process not an outcome.

63. Summary/closing thoughts Advancing adoption and use of social software in schools requires the three C’s - comfort, confidence, and creativity. Christopher D. Sessums, 20 December 2006 http://elgg.net/csessums/weblog/144604.html … the fast development of Web 2.0 has created a situation where many of the powers-that-be have no idea that such possibilities exist.

64. Summary/closing thoughts B Nesbitt (2007) “ This project was created to inspire teachers to use technology in engaging ways to help students develop higher level thinking skills. Equally important, it serves to motivate district level leaders to provide teachers with the tools and training to do so.” http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=_A-ZVCjfWf8&feature=related A Vision of K-12 Students Today
