This document discusses Web 2.0 and its advantages and disadvantages for implementation at OSC school. Web 2.0 allows for more interactive and user-driven internet experiences like chatting, online games, and using tools like Google Earth. It gives users more control over websites and information sharing. While it could increase students' knowledge and international accreditation for OSC, it also increases the risk of exposure to misinformation and students misusing internet freedom. However, the document argues that Web 2.0's benefits outweigh the risks if students are properly disciplined in their internet usage.

Tuning Up Site Search - IA Summit 2007Chris Farnum
Site search for portals, intranets, e-commerce, and e-service sites often fails to deliver the results that users expect. If your search system isn’t delivering on these high expectations, an important question to ask is what (if anything) has been done to configure and optimize your site search tool. Given the fact that many organizations have already made a big investment in purchasing a search engine, it makes sense to explore ways to tune up your search engine before sending it to the digital scrap heap.
If you are new to the area of site search and facing the challenge of how to rescue your site’s users from a frustrating search experience, this presentation will provide you with effective strategies, starting points and examples. It will also include opportunities for incorporating user testing and search analytics into the process of improving search. The strategies covered will range from the low-hanging fruit (taking better advantage of existing features) to the more robust solutions, which are possible when you have the option of customizing your search engine.
