PDF - explaining web 2.0 as a new wave of innovation for teaching and learning

Social bookmarking is the practice of saving bookmarks to a public Web site and "tagging" them with keywords. Bookmarking, on the other hand, is the practice of saving the address of a Web site you wish to visit in the future on your computer. To create a collection of social bookmarks, you register with a social bookmarking site, which lets you store bookmarks, add tags of your choice, and designate individual bookmarks as public or private. Some sites periodically verify that bookmarks still work, notifying users when a URL no longer functions. Visitors to social bookmarking sites can search for resources by keyword, person, or popularity and see the public bookmarks, tags, and classification schemes that registered users have created and saved.

The Kodu Pilot provided teachers with an opportunity to explore a very new Web 2.0 teaching and learning tool. Although activities were often stymied by technology problems, the outcomes for lower achieving students in particular has been very positive and in many cases unexpected. Importantly, it has taken many of the teachers to a new level of thinking in regard to working with their students. This is reflected in many of the comments from teachers but exemplified through the following thoughts from teachers in special settings, who feel the program has taught them: 'Not to underestimate the learning that can take place, even in students with learning difficulties'. 'Students will surprise you - expect the unexpected. Students are resilient and can work with a less than perfect environment ... if they are really interested and engaged'. 'I need to keep looking for new ways to help my students find their talents'.
