There are many Web 2.0 that are free for us to access, so what is it? It is a massive social experiment that can enhance creativity and information sharing. For example, Facebook, twitter, city creator, etc are all different types of web 2.0. Each web 2.0 have their own purpose at what they do.
Delicious.com is a web 2.0 that focus on social bookmarking. Any websites can be tagged under multiple tags too and then shared among everybody. And I do mean everyone: students, parents, colleagues, spouse, and so forth. In turn, they can do the same. Thus, a massive networking is form to find webs that is suited for you to use; just click on the tag you are looking for, and there are choices that you can pick from, so that they do not have to be sorted all over again.
Anyway, ISTE is coming here to do a presentation about training soon. Oh, ISTE stands for International Society for Technology in Education. They are the group that wrote the standards for using technology. Thus, in order for use to use technology to our full potential, we need to understand how it work. ISTE have written three sets of standards. One is for the administrator, one is for the teachers, and the last one is for the students (like what they should know or master).
We also did a practical review of ISTE standards in class. The document can be found in google docs, so if you or I need to take a peek at it, know that it is still there for us to access in the future.
