On web 2.0 in education
Listened to and watched a brilliant Web 2.0 in Education presentation thismorning. Via David Warlick’s 2 Cents Worth I once again found myself at Ewan McIntosh’s edublogs site - a place I am really enjoying return visits to.
What I really liked about his presentation was how well and CLEARLY he explains the difference between web 1.0 and web 2.0 - and how he connects 2.0 into education and the classroom.
I’m already thinking about how I can pass this presentation along to our team of teachers, and invite them to wonder what it means for their ESL classrooms.
Go ahead and listen/watch this presentation. If you’re learning about web 2.0, blogging, podcasting and what they mean for your classroom, you’ll find this is time well invested.
You might be interested in the way I’d like to see - though I realise literary study is probably not in your remit.

Hello there
Just to let you know, Ewan gave this presentation to our students and it provoked a very favourable reaction. When I told them he was re-recording the audio because he wasn’t happy with the version he delivered, and that he thought he could do it better, the standard response has been an incredulous, “He thinks he can make it better!”
If you want to see as well as hear Ewan in action, I’ve posted a link to the video of the lecture he gave at the end of a fairly lengthy post. Enjoy!.

Hey David, Thanks for the heads up! I have viewed both versions and I really like them both. In fact I plan on trying to use it during one of our PD sessions around blogging and emerging technologies and how they can be of use in the classroom. Thanks again!
