Web 2.0 is a dramatic change in our relationship to information--our access to and our creation of it. As such, Web 2.0 will also dramatically change education.Most educators and parents live in a Web 1.0 world, where we area passive consumers of information. Most students live in a Web 2.0 world, where their use of the Internet is as much about creating content as it is about receiving it. Because this change is historic in scope, we have to help each other learn what Web 2.0 is and how it can be used in education. We have to gather devoted educators together to help build new "playbooks" for the use of Web 2.0 in school.
We are hearing more and more talk recently about what learning and teaching will look like in the 21st century. What do we need to bring us into the future? What will our children need to know and be able to do?

Will Richardson is interested in student and teacher use of wikis because of the way they facilitate "the purposeful work of negotiating and creating truth" (p. 62), and because they support the philosophy that "the quality of the collectively produced product is more important than owning the idea" (p. 63). When students are using wikis they are "learning how to develop and use all sorts of collaborative skills, negotiating with others to agree on correctness, meaning, relevance, and more" (p. 65). Teachers can develop these same skills, of course, and Richardson suggests that wikis can even be used as "a showcase for best practices, and [as] an articulation tool"
