WEB 2.0
Informal collaborative learning and free resources
Becta, 2008
The basic [idea] of the Web is that [of] an
information space through which people can
communicate, but communicate in a special way:
communicate by sharing their knowledge in a pool.
The idea was not just that it should be a big
browsing medium. The idea was that everybody
would be putting their ideas in, as well as taking
them out.
—Tim Berners-Lee

What are teachers for in the Information Society?
A teacher who could be replaced by a machine should be!
Arthur C Clarke
But ought we to
give up outmoded
practices?
Cognitive
Learning
Affective
Social
Technology does not change practice.
Teachers change practice as their
knowledge, understanding, skills, beliefs
and goals change.
Digital
Literacy?
Digital literacy is the ability to
locate, organize, understand,
evaluate, and create information
using digital technology.
Becoming digitally literate
requires that the learner:
 knows how to use digital tools
is critical of how and when to use
them
is aware of the risks of working
online
Is prepared to share ideas.
Old pedagogy
New pedagogy
Know as much as there is in the book and as
much as the teacher says
Decide on what to know and what to store
Teacher passes on knowledge to the
student
Teacher helps students access, select,
evaluate, organise and store information
Students write on paper for the teacher to
read
Students write to disk or publish on the
web
Neat handwritten reports
Professional looking printed documents
Texts are set
Texts are editable
Students have limited choice of sources
Students’ personal choices are expected
Students hide papers from each other and
only allow teacher to read the paper
Students exchange tips about editing and
revising their work
