WEB 2.0

"My vision of school/classroom 2.0 is, more than anything else, about conversations.

Traditional schools involved teachers and textbooks delivering information to students,

and students reflecting that information back. To better serve their future, today’s classrooms

should facilitate teaching and learning as a conversation — two-way conversations

between teachers and learners, conversations between learners and other learners,

conversations among teachers, and new conversations between the classroom and

the home and between the school and its community."David Warlick
