Recently the national news has been ablaze with discussion of these transformational learning tools. “Blended learning will play a vital role, as school operators must rethink education’s structure and delivery with the new realities of public funding.” This is according to Michael Horn, co-author of Disrupting Class, which predicts that 50% of all high school classes will be delivered in a blended learning environment by 2015.

"Understanding the tenets of copyright in general, and in particular, in online communication and publishing with Web 2.0 tools, has become an important part of literacy in today’s Information Age, as well as a cornerstone of free speech and responsible citizenship for the future. Young content creators must be educated about copyright law, their own rights as content creators, and their responsibilities as producers and publishers of content derived from the intellectual property of others. Educators should prepare them for responsible and ethical participation in new forms of creative expression in the Information Age. The recent integration of video and audio content and the implementation of Web 2.0 tools in the contemporary English language classroom has made this learning environment a particularly appropriate proving ground for the examination of current student practices with respect to intellectual property. This paper describes an approach employed with English education and communications students to prepare them for such a complex subject matter."

In spite of the fact that web 2.0-enabled tools and services are supposed to be easy to set up and simple to use, some faculty in higher ed never got that memo. They don’t know a tweet from a tag, identify Ning as a four-letter word for “river in China”; and would probably guess that Squidoo is a friend of SpongeBob and Patrick. This guide shares foolproof, unintimidating methods for incorporating social media apps into the classroom—guaranteed to work for even the most squeamish scholar.

"A year after seventh grade teacher Elizabeth Delmatoff started a pilot social media program in her Portland, Oregon classroom, 20% of students school-wide were completing extra assignments for no credit, grades had gone up more than 50%, and chronic absenteeism was reduced by more than a third. For the first time in its history, the school met its adequate yearly progress goal for absenteeism. At a time when many teachers are made wary by reports of predators and bullies online, social media in the classroom is not the most popular proposition. Teachers like Delmatoff, however, are embracing it rather than banning it. They argue that the educational benefits of social media far outweigh the risks, and they worry that schools are missing out on an opportunity to incorporate learning tools the students already know how to use. What started as a Facebook-like forum where Delmatoff posted assignments has grown into a social media component for almost every subject. Here are the reasons why she and other proponents of educational social media think more schools should do the same."

"Many school systems have discovered that Web 2.0 tools such as blogging, social networking, and collaborative authoring software can help create participatory learning environments—but the gap between schools that have embraced these tools and those that have not is still large.A new monograph from the Consortium for School Networking (CoSN) profiles six school districts—Birdville Independent School District in Texas, New Canaan Public Schools in Connecticut, Michigan’s Westwood Cyber High School, Georgia’s Forsyth County Schools, Barrington 220 in Illinois, and White Oak Independent School District in Texas—and examines how those districts are using Web 2.0 tools to align school policies and practices with global education goals."

"The Web 2.0ERC European Union funded project is designed to help educators who find ICT confusing to have a simple and secure environment to use ICT in their work and in their classes. The project will build a simple web site that will include the most popular tools (Wikis, Blogs, communications, Social Networking etc.) with clear guides on: * How to use the tools * How they can be used in education. The project will also look at other Web 2.0 tools that can be used to create content, share the content and communicate. All the work of the project will be piloted with the target groups of the project and the resources produced will be adapted based on the piloting."

"Social language learning has become incredibly popular on the web as it has transcended language barriers in previously impossible ways. For example, right now someone in Argentina could be waiting to teach you Spanish in exchange for your English skills. Or maybe your native language is Spanish and you want to learn Mandarin Chinese in exchange for that knowledge - there's someone out there for that as well! In fact, chances are there are hundreds or even thousands of potential language partners with whom you can symbiotically achieve your collective language learning goals. These exchanges are manifested as instant messages, phone calls over the web (VoIP), organic groups created by members, collectively built resources of free and open language-learning web content, etc."

"The collection of techniques and technologies known as Web 2.0 is really only just beginning to have an affect on the enterprise. We are in that phase of market development where in Web 1.0 enterprises just started to realize that the internet is the new brochureware. Enterprises are starting to say, “We want a conversation with our customers.” New employees coming into even some of the largest companies are saying that they want an experience like MySpace, Facebook and YouTube and those companies are listening. But how do they do that? And do they really know what Web 2.0 really is? Middle aged men and women run these enterprises and generally don’t quite get what is going on."
