How many of you believe your children or grandchildren know more
about technology than you do?
Why is this?
Students are different today
Net GenerationGeneration Y
• 97% own a computer• 97% have downloaded music• 94% own a cell phone• 76% use instant messaging• 75% of college students have a Facebook
profile• 60% own iPods• 34% use websites as their primary source of
news• 28% author a blog and 44% read blogs
Source: Wikipedia 2008
• Students are more engaged outside of school than in school
• Students are content developers through their own social networking sites
• Students use email, IM, Twitter and other Web 2.0 tools that are all banned in schools
Authentic Learning
• When students do work in Web 2.0 it is never done.
• In a school once a teacher grades the paper the student is finished. In a Web 2.0 world, the student can post his/her paper on the net and people who are interested in similar topics may blog with the student.
21st Century Ideas
• Cell phones are the technology of the future• Movies have great impact on learning• Use Google to set up your own search engine• MySpace users would outnumber all countries in the
world but two• Social networking encourages divergent thinking,
school is all about convergence• Use videos of good teachers teaching• Students no longer live in a paper and pencil world
Be careful not to make a $1,200 piece of equipment a glorified
pencil.
Wikinomics
• Principles– Open doors to the world– Co-innovates with everyone– Share resources that used to be guarded– Harness power of mass-collaboration
TodayFlickr beats Webshots
Wikipedia beats Encyclopedia Britannica
Blogger beats CNN
Epinions beats Consumer Reports
Google Maps beats Map Quest
MySpace beats friendster
Craiglist beats monistor
Why?
• Peering– When masses of people and firms collaborate openly to
drive innovation and growth in their industries (MySpace, YouTube, linux, Wikipedia)
• Blogosphere– Self-organized network of personal commentary sites that
are updated every day
• Wiki– Software that allows the users to edit the content of web
pages - Wikipedia is bigger than Encyclopedia Britannica
• Web 2.0 is about the communities, participation and peering.

What is Web 2.0?
• Instead of always downloading information off the web, you interact with information on the web.
• Superintendents join the IASA Ning to learn from each other.
• Principals can set up their own blogs to communicate with their staff and the community.
• Information flows both ways.
