Web 2.0 Reflections

There were many great posts this week about Web 2.0 and new Internet trends. Here are my thoughts about the week's exchange.

Each teacher or Internet user seems to have his/her own ideas as to what the most important technology trends are these days. Althought Web 2.0 is significant, the connect world we live in is larger than just read/write connectivity. Innovations such as:

  • Webcasts
  • Skype,
  • IP phones,
  • Other communication tools that use the Internet

These tools have made an important contribution to the way we communicate and who we communicate to as we share ideas electronically. Undoubtedly, our ideas of the most significant trends of the Internet will continue to evolve as the technology evolves. One important question teachers will ask is, "How are these advancements going to effect my teaching and student learning in the future?"
