Web 2.0 tools are those that are web-based, typically free to the user, support collaboration and interaction, and are responsive to the user. These increasingly available tools include wikis, blogs, and various file-sharing services. Freely available and appealing, these tools are not designed for teaching and learning, yet have been embraced by learners and educators alike. Web 2.0 tools offer alterative instructional strategies that can support deeper learning through active construction of knowledge, social negotiation of understanding, and learner-produced content.

Web 1.0 is like buying a can of Campbell's Soup: everything is in the can and can be messed up if modified
web 2.0 is a two-way platform where participation is a key-word. Web 2.0 is like making homemade soup and inviting your soup-loving friends over
“ Web 3.0 shows more intelligence: the "web machine" learns, suggests and anticipates what people like and would like to get. * Web 1.0 is like buying a can of Campbell's Soup * Web 2.0 is like making homemade soup and inviting your soup-loving friends over * The semantic web is like having a dinner party, knowing that Tom is allergic to gluten, Sally is away til next Thursday and Bob is vegetarian. We are already starting to see the first hints of the semantic web in the mainstream: the photo tagging feature on Facebook is a great example. You upload a photo, tag the photo with your friend's name, and Facebook automatically notifies that person that there's a new picture of them in your photo album. It's a lightweight vision of the future, where the context adds value.” From interview with Tim Berners Lee, http://blogs.nesta.org.uk/innovation/2007/07/the-future-is-s.html
My interest in lifelong learning is situated in the segmentation of markets that require us to learn new systems, processes, ways of interacting as we go through our lifelong development process. Technology, I believe, should not draw attention to itself. http://www.pewinternet.org/Reports/2009/Generations-Online-in-2009.aspx
Impact of school as a not so safe place, 9-11, media and technology culture, multiculturalism; Value immediacy, structure, fair play, diversity; prefer group activities, self-confident, optimistic; cannot imagine NOT having many career paths; multi-taskers that see themselves at the forefront of change
Preparation for Future Learning Does learning involve multiple experiences? Do you provide for relaxed alertness that includes high challenge and low threat? Is there orchestrated participation of the learner through engagement, and authentic and varied experience? Is active processing through which meaning is made available?
