Why Web 2.0 is Important to Higher Education -- Campus Technology
-
Culturally speaking, with the advent of Web 2.0, the "traditional classroom" with one speaker and many listeners is now an oddity, a throwback, a form that should represent 15 percent of undergraduate interaction with faculty, not 85 percent as it does now. With so many ways to create knowledge now very rapidly and collaboratively, we are freed from the necessity of a singular approach to teaching. It no longer makes sense. If you are a faculty member and you are still walking into the classroom with a lecture in mind and "the points to cover," as I did for many years, you are living in the past, a past that is now obsolete. Granted, your job is easier and the students love it if you just talk, but do you feel right about what you are doing?

The new textbook is student work; I'll say it again: The textbook of this age is the work that students generate under your guidance and within your design.

AAAS - Project 2061 - Benchmarks for Science Literacy
-
Add Sticky Note"Several national organizations have also used Benchmarks to guide their efforts. The National Research Council drew on Benchmarks in developing its 1996 National Science Education Standards. And national organizations and agencies that support standards-based reform—the Statewide Systemic Initiatives program of the National Science Foundation, the Department of Education's Eisenhower Mathematics and Science Education Program, and the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development to name a few—have used Project 2061's publications extensively."

AAAS - Project 2061 - Science for All Americans
-
Add Sticky Note"The panels' recommendations were integrated into Project 2061's 1989 publication, Science for All Americans. Science for All Americans defines science literacy and lays out some principles for effective learning and teaching. In coherent prose, it articulates and connects fundamental ideas in science without technical vocabulary and dense detail."
