Teachers Driving Web 2.0 Use in Schools Says National Research Survey - 0 views

  • The research indicates that the movement toward Web 2.0
    use to engage students and address individual learning needs
    is largely being driven in districts from the bottom up – starting
    with teachers and students
  • Overall, the research confirms school districts are using or
    planning to use several types of Web 2.0 technologies, but reveals
    there is still resistance to using online social networking for
    instructional purposes.
  • ther key results of the survey include:


    • The three most frequently cited reasons for adopting Web
      2.0 technologies are: addressing students’ individual
      learning needs, engaging student interest, and increasing students’ options
      for access to teaching and learning.
    • Online communications with parents and students (e.g., teacher
      blogs) and digital multimedia resources are the Internet technologies
      most widely used by teachers, and a majority of districts have
      plans for adopting these technologies or promoting their use.
    • Teacher-generated online content (e.g., multimedia lessons,
      wiki-based resources) is likely to be the next area of growth
      in the use of Web 2.0 technologies. Almost half of districts
      have plans for adopting or promoting the creation and sharing
      of this content through Web 2.0 tools.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • Over the next several months, the companies will conduct online
    focus groups, prepare a white paper summarizing and interpreting
    the research, and develop resources based on the insights learned
    to help guide districts in harnessing the educational power of
    the collaborative Web
  • Anne Bubnic
     
    While many stakeholders are involved in developing policies on the use of Web 2.0 technologies in K-12 education, new research suggests that teachers are the most important group driving adoption. This is a major finding from a national research survey of more than 500 district technology directors. The survey was commissioned by Lightspeed Systems Inc., a leader in network security and management software for schools, and Thinkronize Inc., creators of netTrekker, America's number one educational search tool, with support from Atomic Learning.
