Web 2.0 emphasizes user-generated content, collaboration, and social interactivity, making it essential in education for digital natives who differ from previous generations. This document outlines various educational tools and resources that leverage Web 2.0 technologies, including creative writing platforms, interactive timelines, and collaborative projects, to adapt to students' technological habits and needs. It highlights the importance of integrating these resources into teaching to enhance engagement and learning outcomes.

2. What is Web 2.0?
• Web 2.0 – Non-restrictive
–People can post comments, change
information, upload videos or
photos and contribute to a site
–User Generated Content

3. Also, Web 2.0 is
• Participatory
• Collaborative
• Connective
• Shareable
• Personalized
• Social

4. Why 2.0 in education?
Because your student is a
Digital Native not a Digital Immigrant!
• “Our students have changed radically. Today’s
students are no longer the people our
educational system was designed to teach.”
By Marc Prensky From On the Horizon (MCB University Press, Vol. 9 No. 5, October 2001) © 2001 Marc Prensky

5. Why Web 2.0 in Education?
• "Children raised on new media technologies are less
patient with filling out worksheets and listening to
lectures because students already participate on a global
level.”Collins, Allan (2009). Rethinking Education in the Age of Technology. New York, NY: Teachers College Press.
• Will Richardson stated in Blogs, Wikis, Podcasts and
other Powerful Web tools for the Classrooms, 3rd Edition
that,“Educators must possess the ability to adapt
technology to meet individual needs, rather than vice
versa”

83. Election Sites
Old School Presidential Campaign Videos
This afternoon my Uncle Bob shared with me this video of a campaign jingle
for Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1952. I then shared the video on Twitter with
the comment, "what if political campaign ads were still like this?" To that
Tony Amsler replied, "maybe we can run a contest for folks to create
jingles." I think that could become a great classroom activity as the election
approaches. Have students use tools like Animoto, WeVideo, or Pixorial to
create "lighter" campaign commercials.
For more old campaign commercials and ideas for using them in your
classroom, please check out The Living Room Candidate.
