is Web 2.0 and why does it matter for education? Major new research
into the use of Web 2.0 technologies, such as wikis, blogs and social
networking, shows that young learners are prolific users of these
technologies in their leisure time, but the use of Web 2.0 in the
classroom is still limited. In this session you will explore blogs and
wikis as an example of Web 2.0 and begin to create a Professional
Learning Network through blogging. The session will include a
discussion of important questions that are raised by the readings on
why students should blog and the use of blogs in education, as well as
hands-on exploration of some of the tools introduced by the discussion.
