Let the work begin!

I look forward to the work that begins tomorrow for a group of 17 talented and experienced teachers at St. Paul's School. They will begin a year long in depth exploration of STEM - Science, Technology, Engineering and Math - and Global education initiatives: examination of our current practice and recomendation for future enhancement.

Follow their progress on the St. Paul's ARC wiki (under Favorite Links).

Web 2.0 DEFINED

Is Web 2.0 an upgrade to Web 1.0?

Not technically...but it is a term coined (O'Reilly Media, 2003) to describe enhanced applications that are now ubiquitious on the web. Web 2.0 specifially refers to web apps that are participatory in nature - via information sharing, interoperability, user-centered design, and collaboration. Examples of Web 2.0 sites include social networking sites, video and photo sharing sites, wikis, blogs and any other site where users contribute to the content - users are prosumers vs. consumers.
