    While empowering, the challenge of this model is that everyone's creations are spread across the open Web. The way that most courses deal with the problem of distributed production is by forcing all students to post in the same place, in the password-walled, institutionally controlled LMS. The way that Connected Courses deal with this challenge is by aggregation, sometimes also called syndication. All of the content produced on student blogs, websites, Twitter accounts and other social media accounts is syndicated to a single website.

    Great article and interesting site. Thanks for sharing. I like the ideas he proposes and which we're doing in this class which is creating the structures that allow us to share, compile our learning, and communicate in professional like-minded communities. Like in our class, he suggests getting away from Blackboard and other course platforms and having students create wikis of their work, connect on twitter, and use places like Diigo to share. I can't say I feel as strongly that Blackboad and the like are truly evil as he paints them. I just think we're growing beyond them. We can all meet in google hangout, share our wikis, chat...etc. We don't really need Blackboard except to compile grades somewhere. I'm also not sure I think it's so evil that the content students post to Blackboard gets deleted after 6 months. He makes it sound like we're burning books. Most students have copies of what they post and any truly great ideas that arise during class will find a way to survive. Still, I liked the article for bringing up some excellent points and raising the question of who LMS's serve and are they really supporting learning in the ways we want them to.

      Do you really think students are becoming increasingly digital literate? Or do you think this article is exaggerating with that comment? 
  • today's workforce have pushed the United States government to create guidelines, such as the Core Curriculum Content Standards, for educators to ensure that students are prepared to meet the demands of the 21st century.

      Do you think educators should focus their need to teach with web 2.0 tools due to high demand of the use of technology out in the workforce field?

      Flexibility and adaptability is a great benefit when using an interactive whiteboard! What type of learners do you think will benefit from this?

      It seems that a lot of schools are using web 2.0 tools to maintain communication outside of school. Do you see this as an advantage or disadvantage?  Which Web 2.0 tool do you use for instruction or plan to use for instruction?
  • Currently, teachers utilize various Web 2.0 tools to enhance their instruction. Such tools are also being used to extend classroom communication outside of campus.

    https://diigo.com/07taik This article responds to the question of why students nowadays are increasingly digital literate. Students do not become digitally literate because they want to if not because they have to,the world is pushing our children to. The use of web 2.0 tools in the classroom makes it easier for the students of this generation to become digital literate. My concern is the frustration while learning the use of this tools.

    I don't think that the comment is exaggerated. Students come to our classrooms with a knack for digital literacy. I think they are called digital natives for a reason. I agree that there is some level of frustration as we all learn to learn and incorporate these new tools into our curriculum. However, there is always a level of uneasiness as we venture into something new. If we are going to think and work outside of the box, then we have to expect some failures as we climb to the top!

    Ana, thank you for your response. I had never heard the term digital natives. I guess in technology we always have to be ready for the unexpected.

    Mayra, Gladys shared an article called "What Digital Literacy Look Like in a Classroom" on the 16th. There they mention three terms: -Digital Native -Digital Immigrant -Digital Literate In regards to your question. I do not think exaggeration is the case here. I do think students are becoming increasingly digital literate because technology is being utilize more and more each day. Students are exposed to new ways of teaching using technology.
