For thing 2 we have been asked to reflect about web 2.0 and it's implications for teaching and learning. What is there to say? What isn't there to say?
I love technology. I think it's important and that it's changing the way the world works. I think it's extremely improtant that we are using Web 2.0 and much more in our classrooms, because they are part of life. We can't pretend like the rest of the world isn't using these tools and the many new things that are being developed every day.
On the other hand, it's important that we don't let these tools get in the way of good teaching. If and when we use Web 2.0 in the classroom, it's enhancing what the students are learning and motivating them and it's not just there as a shiny new tool or just to say we are using it.
So while we must think of ways to use Web 2.0 and any other technology, it must enhance the teaching we are doing.
