two minute talk from alan november - when asked - the significance of web 2.0 and learning 2.0.
as long as schools own the learner, teachers give hw and teachers give tests and teachers control the curriculum, web 2.0 has no chance to have an impact on learning 2.0. on the other hand if we decide that students should own the learning, and students should co-design the curriculum, and design own hw......it's ridiculous to have any teacher say - put your books away - we're going to have a test now - based on memorization...just flies in the face of 2.0... there would be so much we would have to change in the culture to be serious about 2.0...
i want to be serious about it. let's get serious about it.
