Web 2.0 Read Write Web

Web 1.0 = TECHNOLOGY skills

Everybody creates, the learning is in the creating. Papert’s Constructionism, Siemens Connectivism, Illich’s Deschooling, Freire’s Pedagogy of the Oppressed

Simpson (1999) states, “One of the best ways of entrenching one's knowledge is to explain it to others...” Why is “Publishing” important for education? Hutchings (2002) credits Shulman with the notion of publicly sharing one’s work for critical review that became accepted as an integral element of the scholarship of teaching and learning.

collaborate Everybody and Anybody can share influence create publish connect
