Abstract: YouTube, Podcasting, Blogs, Wikis and RSS are buzz words currently associated with the term Web 2.0 and
represent a shifting pedagogical paradigm for the use of a new set of tools within education
focused on humanist practices in education by Sonia Nieto, Carl Rogers, and bell hooks (available on You Tube). All educators were passion about being open in the classroom, being mindful, being compassionate, educating out of respect and not out of love for students, and delivering education that is affective. These ideas are also implied in Maslow’s Hierarchy of Need (available on You Tube).
