Last nights presentation by David Warlick was interesting but I found it very chaotic at our site what with some technical difficulties and such.
I took the time today to go to Mr. Warlick's home page, which included RSS feeds to some interesting articles and all kinds of interesting information ( I have bookmarked this page). I learned a great deal more by digging around. I found out that Jeff's real name is Jeff "The Wiki Man" Whipple, hehehe.
Listened to the podcast - Connect Learning with David Warlick, from that I listened to people trying to define web 2.0; some said web 2.0 is:
- engaging in converstion with the world
- teaching kids to learn how to learn
-kids are not just recipients of knowledge, they are active participants
I also looked at the article - Redefining Literacy for the 21st Century, which was the topic of his presentation. There were some thought provoking questions there that I still have rolling around in my brain.
- What do you need to know, when most of recorded knowledge is a mouse click away?
- How do you distinguish between good knowledge and bad knowledge?
- What does it do to the value of information, when everyone is a producer?
- How do we address ethics, when we are empowering our students with such prevailing skills?
Get back to you on that Mr. Warlick. I'm still trying to figure out how to hyperlink.
All in all, great fun.

Excellent blog entry Mona, that's how I figure blogging should be done, reading articles, creating links and trying to get the most important information from the reading you did. I wish Mr. Warlick could have presented from our site so we could have had him to ourselves for asking question's etc. Rosa
Right on Mona and Rosalie...blogging is all about taking in information, molding it and re-shaping it...and sharing it...well done!
