I agree.... in 10 years, students will be carrying electronic tablets similar to Amazon's Kindle that'll contain every textbook they need. Chiropractors everywhere will lose business as backpacks become much lighter!

I think that textbooks as we know them will be gone. There might be some supplemental workbooks to accompany online instruction in the classroom. Perhaps charter schools might finally become solvent in an online environment. But I agree with Tanya Rehse that human interaction will always be necessary and desirable.

As for the legislation, I happen to agree that MySpace has no place in the school. Most of it is a free for all, a virtual bathroom wall of graffiti. However, there is definitely a place for educational social network sites. The motivation they provide students is genuine and they meet the students where they are. It would be irresponsible of us not to utilize these tools. This is a part of our students world and will continue to be in one way or another. We must adapt to it.

There is a hope, things will go the right way :) Don't be too pessimistic, people :) Those in power do understand that the real power is in the hands of the kids because if we do not meet their needs they all will drop out. We must change the system so it prepares the next generation for their lives, not to the life of a farmer in 17th century England :)<br />

There are many hypocritical laws that we learned to ignore, or work around, or protest. We can organize e-protest :) in a positive way with our students participation.

The article is disheartening and so short-sighted. So many of the tools I have found on Web 2.0 are great for elementary and middle school students.

At times, I couldn't agree with you more. Yet, all of the information I have learned on these Web 2.0 over the past 10 days gives me hope! I think in addition to fighting higher education, the parents of the students we teach also are comfy with schools as they are. After all, if it was good enough for them... :-)

I don't know what it's going to look like in 20 years, but I know it's not going to look like it does now.
