The Web 2.0 Research Projects aimed to identify how teachers and students can benefit from Web 2.0 technologies, and provide practical guidance based on examples of actual use in Victorian schools.

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'.
