Discuss this shift in the Internet in terms of constructivism and implications for using technology in the classroom.

 
From the article in this week’s reading, “Web 1.0 was characterized by the existence of passive web-sites and applications providing information. Web 2.0 is associated with web applications that facilitate participatory information sharing, interoperability, user-centered design and collaboration on the WWW.”

• Discuss this shift in the Internet in terms of constructivism and implications for using technology in the classroom.
• Points to consider (address at least two of these):
  • Classroom resources.
  • Student view of technology (social tool, educational tool, something that is new and cool to use, etc.).
  • Student interaction with technology.
  • Opportunities to use technology in the classroom.
  • Connecting with students outside the classroom.
