What We Can Learn from Social Networking

Social Networking Is: The Aggregation of Web Tools for Building Community & Content

13,028 Educators Talking About Web 2.0 in Education

Learning Tools for Teachers and Students Profile Page = Personal Portfolio Forum = Announcements, Assignments, and Asynchronous Discussions Photo/Video/Audio Uploading = Content Repository & Student Showcase Directory = Personal Learning Network Groups = Learning Teams IM/Chat = Personalized Attention

Why This All Matters:

Information Is Changing
Where and How We Learn Is Changing
Education WILL
Change

If We Don't Integrate the Tools Effectively...
Formal Education Will Become Increasingly Irrelevant

A Danger: “Intellectual Isolationism”

Another Danger: RIAA & Music = Schools & Learning?

We Can/Must Harness Web 2.0's Inherent Pedagogical Capabilities:

“ BAKED IN” TO WEB 2.0
Engagement
Authenticity
Participation
Openness
Access to Information
Collaboration
Creativity
Passionate Interest
Personal Expression
Discussion
Asynchronous Contribution
Proactivity
Critical Thinking

What You Can Do:

1. Don't Be Afraid--Learn About Web 2.0

2. Keep Perspective

Students Need You More than Ever

ABOUT CROWS by John Ciardi The old crow is getting slow; the young crow is not. Of what the young crow does not know, the old crow knows a lot. At knowing things, the old crow is still the young crow's master. What does the old crow not know? How to go faster. The young crow flies above, below, and rings around the slow old crow. What does the fast young crow not know? WHERE TO GO.

3. Join a Social Network and “Lurk”

4. Participate (When Ready!)

5. Think About: The Web as Content Overload or the Web as Conversation

6. Make Education a Public Discussion

7. Help Build the New Playbook

Have a Great Day Today, and Happy Learning!
