Teachers should be exposing students to the latest available tools, whether or not they are completely competent using them personally. Students should be figuring out how to use new tools, not just being taught how to use them. Tools should not be used just because they are cool, but because they enhance the existing curriculum. Students should be researching new Web 2.0 tools for their own personal use and suggesting ways those tools can be used in class. Collaboration via IM, Twitter, blogs, wikis, and so on should be commonplace. Student work should regularly be published online.”
