  This workshop had a session on web 2.0 and education. During the session they allowed an online background discussion.

  • During the event, she encouraged the audience to sign into what she calls a
    "back channel," which is basically a chat session going on while the panelists
    were speaking. People both in the room and those not attending NECC were able to
    comment, in real time, about what the panelists were saying via the free Chatzy service.
  • What a change from when I grew up, when it was an infraction to pass notes back
    and forth during class
  • 2 more annotations...
  • • If this technology is used in school, I would hope that the students feel free
      to make critical comments about the subject matter but practice good online
      citizenship by refraining from insulting the speaker and each other.

        Good Point
    • Just as we don't avoid physical education because kids sometimes skin their
      knees or refrain from art projects because kids can get their hands dirty, we
      shouldn't let the risks keep us from embracing Web 2.0 technology in school.
