The Internet has not transformed civic engagement... yet - Ars Technica - 0 views

  • If there is any subject that optimists and pessimists love to bang heads over, it's the Internet. To follow the experts, we're either on the cyber-road to utopia or going to alt-hell in an iPhone app handbasket, depending on what day of the week it is.

Doomed: why Wikipedia will fail - Ars Technica - 0 views

  •  
    In Goldman's view, the very popularity of the site stands in tension with its goal of radical openness. The freely editable nature of Wikipedia has made it a canvas upon which vandals, spammers, and pranksters can paint at will.--Goldman Clay Shirky (Here Comes Everybody) argues the oppositte: that enough people care about wikipedia to prevent it from devolving into chaos, which is what would happen if nobody cared.

Ars Book Review: "Here Comes Everybody" by Clay Shirky - Ars Technica - 0 views

  •  
    This is a review of Clay Shirky's book, "Here Comes Everybody" in which he describes the dramatic impact the internet has, and will continue to have on how we learn and communicate. This book (and review) will give you some insight into how your children may be using these technologies. But it should also raise questions about how we, as practitioners, can use the affordances of the new tech to improve our efficiency, effectiveness, and efficacy.

      Somewhat simplistic article. If you build it they'll come attitude. it's not the technology, but knowing how to use the technology, properly...i.e not in a sustaining manner.. that will improve schools and learning...
  •  
    Obama should put more money into educational technology. This seems like a very one sided and simplistic view of how technology can be used to improve education. Only at the end of the article do you realize that the author is selling something: he's an officer at a company that works with educational technology

Web 2.0: Good for Education? -- Campus Technology - 0 views

  •  - Gap between upper-echelon institutions that are able to adapt to Web 2.0 trends and the rest of higher education
    • Uche Amaechi
       
      I'd argue that mass production schools like phoenix are leading the on-line charge in education, embracing web 2.0 and other technologies to better compete against the old guard and other younger institutions. Sure the old guard have more resources, but are they reaching more students? Will they always have more resources?
