What is Web 2.0?
When I was growing up, my parents told me, “Finish your dinner. People in China and India are starving.” I tell my daughters, “Finish your homework. People in India and China are starving for your job.”
---Thomas Friedman, 2005

Virtual Textbooks

• At Empire High School in Vail, Ariz., students use computers provided by the school to get their lessons, do their homework and hear podcasts of their teachers’ science lectures.
• In California, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger this summer announced an initiative that would replace some high school science and math texts with free, “open source” digital versions.
• “In five years, I think the majority of students will be using digital textbooks,” said William M. Habermehl, superintendent of the 500,000-student Orange County schools. “They can be better than traditional textbooks.”
English Via Cell Phone
Will educators let students use mobile devices?
• Smart phone penetration will hit 82% by 2013 – Text to screen– In-class polling
• The App Store is producing an explosion of educational mobile content – Translation tools, musical instruments,
learning games, mobile books
• Existing pilots of mobile education are demonstrating success– Preliminary research from both Australia and
the US is finding that when using iPod Touches as part of their class activities, school attendance increases, students are more willing to come to school, and they do more homework
– Further quantitative research is needed, but it seems obvious that kids will learn more if they are engaged in the process -- and cutting-edge mobile devices like the iPod Touch are brilliant at driving engagement.
• Mobile devices offer access to the internet in places where the traditional web doesn't reach

Encourage teachers to engage
students in their own learning
“We should instead use technology funding to bolster new learning models and innovations, such as online-learning environments, to level the playing field and allow students from all walks of life -- from small, rural communities to budget-strapped urban schools -- to access the rich variety that is now available only to children in wealthy suburban districts.”

Do you think students are more engaged outside of
school than in school?
What are you doing about it?
How young professionals say they learn.
“I can look it up on-line, find an expert and then collaborate with that person on a solution.”
“If I had to learn something new today the first place I would
go is Google, then forum sites, then video
sources.”
“I would ask professionals and see if they would share their information with me.”
“I would first go to Google, then Wikipedia, then my address book to see who I know that I could contact and leverage their knowledge to help me.”
“Consult with peers, look on the Internet to search and learn information about the topic I am interested in.”
