It is very interesting to be involved in such a time of upheaval in education. To witness the growing dependancy on the temperamental and unreliable world of online technology... To have access to the rapidly changing and growing world of online tools, and have ideas and resournces literally at your finger tips.
It is interesting, and scary and exciting the way our world is changing.
Do we have enough room in our classrooms and our timetables to fit in all this...?
I can see immense value in some of the many tools we have encountered during the Web 2 course. I have utelised and will continue to use Facebook, Cloud computing, Blogs and many of the other tools that this course has opened up. But I do see the value in ensuring that students do not become overly dependant on technology and forget the use of pen and paper and their own learning and imagination in favour of someone elses ideas. Plagiarism in the classroom is increasingly becoming the staple of some of our students.
