Many new teachers are seeking new products and technologies to help them to help them in their upcoming school year. With an increase in students networking in blogs such as MySpace. Teachers need to adapt their teaching styles to suit the students interests, which lies in technology and online collaboration. The future of this lies in Web 2.0, teachers using Web 2.0 as a way to collaborate online with students, teaching them some new skills and the students teaching the teachers new skills as well. The Web is constantly changing and we as teachers need to adapt, 6 months ago i was making Webquests for year 7, thinking that i was being really technologically advanced and know i came back to uni after my prac and find out that i’m not technologically advanced, but actually quite the opposite. Webquests are Web 1.0, whereas what i’m doing now is Web 2.0, and it really doesn’t seem much different.
Here is a really good site to look at
