web2.0 simply defined
these few days were in and out of major meetings reporting and demoing on the upcoming The ICT Connection website, and was guided to think of the website’s next phase of development. the idea of building a community among teachers who are interested to come together to work and improve on existing ICT lesson examples. and saw this post by Christopher D. Sessums defining web2.0:
Web 1.0 = me
Web 2.0 = me + youWeb 1.0 = read
Web 2.0 = read + writeWeb 1.0 = connecting ideas
Web 2.0 = connecting ideas + connecting peopleWeb 1.0 = search
Web 2.0 = recommendations of friends/othersWeb 1.0 = find
Web 2.0 = shareWeb 1.0 = techies rule
Web 2.0 = everybody rules
part 2 and 3 probably’s the way forward for The ICT Connection. but again, are our teachers ready and have the time to embrace this Web2.0 culture or perhaps i should say “Web2.0 lifestyle“. it’s like owning an iphone, it’s not abt the physical device, it’s abt adapting to and owning a new lifestyle.
the universe of knowledge
saw this piece of drawing within Christopher D. Sessums’ post on 150+ Resources for Teaching and Learning:
particularly attracted by the “MONSTROUSLY LARGE BLIND SPOTS”. dun ask me why, the brain’s quite dead after running 8.5 hrs of afterburners for 2 consecutive days. it’s simply a feeling of 渺小, especially if you are doing some research or lit review lately, you’ll likely feel likewise 😛
of cos if u would like to find out abt the exact context of the drawing, go back to the source (:
