Moving Toward Web 2.0 in K-12 Education
http://www.britannica.com/blogs/2008/10/moving-toward-web-20-in-k-12-education/
Moving Toward Web 2.0 in K-12 Education
The historic changes in information are going to drive historic changes in teaching and learning, and therefore in the institutions dedicated to education. We’re long overdue for a really good discussion about the purpose of schools, and I believe that Web 2.0 will give us that opportunity.
I believe that the long-term outcome will be a system of learning that is much more productive for our youth, and for their teachers, than currently exists.

Becta report shows benefits of Web 2.0 in the classroom (UK)
http://schools.becta.org.uk/index.php?section=tl&catcode=ss_tl_dig_02&rid=15903
Becta report shows benefits of Web 2.0 in the classroom (September 2008)
Major new research into the use of Web 2.0 technologies, such as wikis, blogs and social networking, shows that young learners are prolific users of these technologies in their leisure time, but the use of Web 2.0 in the classroom is still limited.
The research also found that over half of teachers surveyed believe that Web 2.0 resources should be used more often in the classroom.
However, the majority of teachers questioned had never used Web 2.0 applications in lessons, despite being frequent users of technology in their personal and professional lives. Their main concerns involved a lack of time to familiarise themselves with the technology and worries about managing the use of the internet in class.
The reports recommended that teachers should be encouraged to help learners to develop more sophisticated use of Web 2.0 technology and to give them the skills to navigate this space.

Chocoholics Project
I have had a go at doing unit 9.2 using as many online resources as possible in order to introduce students to some Web 2.0 tools and to promote collaboration as much as possible.
It is done at the end of the year following another HUGE detailed Integrated Applications project, so students should be able to apply their knowldege and skills and use them in slightly different ways.

Impact of Web 2.0 Innovations on Education and Training
http://is.jrc.ec.europa.eu/pages/Learning-2.0.html
Learning 2.0: A Study on the Impact of Web 2.0 Innovations on Education and Training in Europe
The objective of this study is to assess the impact of web 2.0 trends on the field of learning and education in Europe and to see where Europe stands in terms of using web 2.0 innovations in the domain of learning.
The rapid growth of social computing or web 2.0 applications and supporting technologies (E.g. blogs, podcasts, wikis, social networking sites, sharing of bookmarks, VoIP and P2P services), both in terms of number of users/subscribers and in terms of usage patterns leads to the fact that the phenomena are also increasingly being used in the educational field and for learning purposes. As it enables different types of learning and teaching settings (formal, non-formal and informal), it is an important driver of innovation in learning.

Rise of the Participation Culture
http://www.wsjb.com/RPC/V1/Home.html
"While many of us were placing our attention elsewhere, the post-dotcom-crash World Wide Web and global Internet continued to evolve. Once seemingly going to be solely focused on ecommerce, transaction-centric and primarily Web page publishing paradigms, an amazing array of Web-based applications has burst forth and a new culture is forming comprised of people participating within them. An underlying infrastructure to support these applications has emerged geared to enabling, engaging and encouraging applications to be developed, but also to enable these applications to be leveraged on a massive scale. As a result, a global culture of tech-savvy, always-on and always-connected people is enthusiastically using these new Participation Applications and are shaping our networked world in new and fundamentally profound ways."

Flat Classrooms
Two "School 2.0" stories to report from the trenches.
1. Vicki Davis' 10th grade Computer Science class at Westwood Schools in Camilla, Georgia and Julie Lindsay's grade 11 ITGS class at International School Dhaka (ISD) in Bangladesh are in the middle of a two-week combined project to discuss topics from the Thomas Friedman book The World is Flat.
2. Chris Craft, that innovative language arts teacher from South Caroline, has done it again. Using old computers and Skype, Chris brought his 6th graders into a direct videoconference with students at an American school in Lima Peru.

Tell a story in 5 frames (Visual story telling)
http://www.flickr.com/groups/visualstory/
Tell a story in 5 frames (Visual story telling) at Flickr
Tell a Story in 5 Frames has two important parts.
The first part is creating and telling a story through visual means with only a title to help guide the interpretation. The second part is the response of the group to the visual story.
The group response can take many forms such as, a poetic or prose rendering of the visualization, a critique on the structure of the story, comments on the photograph, or other constructive forms of response.
Telling and enjoying stories should create entertainment for the group as well as offer insight into the universal elements that help create a story for an international audience. The more people who respond , as either story tellers or respondents, the greater the reward for all.

Miles Berry :: Weblog :: Flickr@School
"The St Ives girls are making increasing use of Flickr as a source for images for school work, which I'm delighted to encourage. Not so much of this in my maths lessons yet (although I have things in mind for patterns, symmetry and tessellations...), but there's been some great use in geography for illustrating work on glaciation, and this last week I've been hugely impressed by the way it's being used for English lessons."

Teaching and learning with Flickr
Many uses of Flickr have appeared in elementary schools. One fifth-grade writing class set up a Flickr account for writing prompt images. A Canadian teacher uses Flickr to point to local photographers, again for writing purposes. An elementary school uses Flickr to document arts and media work.
Another elementary school documents general activities during the school year. A teacher uses Flickr to document his professional work.
