      That's why we need to learn the common culture of web2.0 tools and be comfortable with this new technology.  What he is speaking of is an important part of the new agenda in education.
  • Members of this group therefore may be more likely to think of themselves as "citizens of the world."

      This is very obvious to me when I read the bloggers who are at the cutting edge of educational reform.

      Anyone have ideas on how to model 21st century skills in an environment which blocks many of these web2.0 tools?

    Nancy: You need a phased attack. Phase one involves marshaling the technologies you do have handy to create communication with parents. Use Twitter for homework updates, essential questions about reading assignments, a "writer's tip of the day" etc. This is what I call a "tier 1" communication. This technology gives few details, but provides parents talking points during dinner conversation with their kids. Then use your website to add the major details, evaluation rubrics, blogging, etc. What I like to provide are "desktop" videos that capture you using or modeling Web 2.0 technologies, and their potential in the classroom. Post these on your website and say something like, "Blocked here at [your school] but you can perhaps use these tools at home..." When parents start to see the same text appear over and over as a caption or comment in your video, they just might get angry enough to go to the superintendent, or the IT "integration specialist" and say, "Enough! Give this teacher the tools she needs!" We're fighting this battle everywhere. Educators are being treated like children who don't have a clue. Keep fighting the good fight and good luck!
