I think I'm finally moving beyond rebelling against the idea of HAVING to use Web 2.0 in my classroom, to thinking about HOW I will continue to use Web 2.0 (after this class is complete!) to enhance both my learning and my teaching. I visited all of both David Warlick's and David Richardson's sites, and love the title on David's: "CoLearners". That's what it's all about: learning right alongside of our "students" (in this brave new world of education, do we need new terms for ourselves?). I also appreciated Will Richardson's homepage for it's bulleted format, great categorization, and multitudinous links. It's a comprehensive overview, from many different viewpoints, of how Web 2.0 is affecting the world.
Finally, as a humorous example of how Web 2.0 is calling us to a higher level of accountabililty: I was going to include a quote from the top of Richardson's website in this post, since it was attributed to Darwin and thus fits neatly into my Biology background. However, a quick check revealed that the quote was misattributed... OOPS!
I bet the California Academy of Sciences wishes they'd figured that out before they etched said quote into their stone floor. For a photo and the story, see this link:
