Description
“I believe that the read/write Web, or what we are calling Web 2.0, will culturally, socially, intellectually, and politically have a greater impact than the advent of the printing press. I believe that we cannot even begin to imagine the changes that are going to take place as the two-way nature of the Internet begins to flower, and that even those of us who have spent time imagining this future will be astounded by what happens. I’m going to identify ten trends in this regard that I think have particular importance for education and learning, and then discuss seven steps I think educators can take to make a difference during this time.”

Good Morning Steve
Where in the world would we see best practice operating in schools using web based 2 tools?
Concord School has commenced this journey using web based 2 tools and platforms and are interested in seeing what other schools are doing in this area. I hope you can provide some contact and reference points for us to to visit and make contact with.

Steve’s session as expected, was the highlight for me. Such a quietly spoken but effective speaker who emphasised the importance of web2.0 to education. Having tried some of these tools over the last 12 months I tend to agree very much with him.
