Students no longer need to go to school, or find a knowledgeable adult who is willing to help them find out information.
Students now turn to the Internet and look up the information themselves.
This is how Education 2.0 is different from Education 1.o.
Students are able to take it upon themselves to look up information and become experts on whatever subject they want, and they use technology to do it.
In 1.0, students would write essays. In 2.0, students are creating podcasts.
Students are now producers, publishers, peer-reviewers, as well as audience members.
Students in the 2.0 world are creative and have the ability to share their creations with the world.
Dear Kelly,
ReplyDeleteI think your analysis of the difference between traditional learning and 21st century learning is well-stated.
I'm curious to know what your thoughts are about what role teachers should now play in classrooms.
Sincerely,
