I've been teaching and using technology for years---since the days we got on the Internet through Mosaic!! I also presented around my district, state and at NECC for years. I have some really strong opinions about technology then and now so it's fun to discuss. You can see our tech related projects <a href="http://anotsodifferentplace.blogspot.com/2007/07/where-is-all-your-stuff.html">here</a>. Enjoy!!

Agree, times they are a changin' but haven't you noticed most of the pundits praising Web 2.0 aren't teachers? Do you remember eBoard? Big Chalk? Classroom Connect? RiverDeep? All the "next best things" are either gone or charge a fee. We shall see what happens.<br />
<br />
IMHO anybody who thinks all the texting, IMing, video uploading, music stealing teens are tech literate are kidding themselves. Enjoyed the discussion, N.

Gee, Nancy, you mean you're not going to train them all for me before you retire? :><br />
<br />
You know, you may be right about typing but if there is one thing that we know about technology it's that we can't predict the future by looking at the past. I mean, who 10 years ago could've imagined the Web giant that is Wikipedia? Who voting in '96 could have imagined that we now can get any information we want (and more) on any candidate and any issue? Saying that any tech skills we've been teaching the…

lol, another example of throwing the baby out with the bathwater---we shall see what happens to all this Web 2.0 stuff. It's great stuff but are teachers going to embrace it any more than they embraced 1.0? I have my doubts based on the last two years, but we shall see.

I think it's because folders represent top-down, exclusive control of information reminiscent of the "Web 1.0" era, whereas tags represent the bottom-up participatory democracy that marks "Web 2.0." Thus, <i>folksonomy</i> now replaces taxonomy.<br />
Of course, maybe they just forgot to include folders.

Maybe writing on a computer will become passe someday but I doubt it. What I see is the expectation that kids can type--making webpages, blogging, doing research projects, writing books and articles---BUT the kids can't type so everything takes much longer than it should. You probably don't think kids should learn their multiplication tables because they can use a calculator!! Ah, the world is a changin'.<br />

Did I mention I retire in a year or two! You'll be left with all the slow typing…

Well, tech skills are a moving target. Look at typing. Email is just so <i>passe</i> to kids nowadays. They SMS all day with their thumbs, not their fingers, and eschew email. Me, I use voice-to-text technology to send emails and compose posts and letters, so typing is less important to me these days. Yes, they need basic skills but I am not sure what they will need five years from now.<br />
Keep up the good fight, Nancy. Hope you see progress!

I throw this out where I can, why doesn't Delicious have folders? No matter how good my tags are and how good my bundles are named I feel like I'm scrolling through pages looking for stuff. Does any one else feel that way?
