Just another UMW Blogs.org weblog

Chapter 9 of Web 2.0 discusses what schools need to do in order to create a learning environment that supports commuter and information literacy.  It seems the most important thing is that schools be willing to try new things.  Rather than relying on the teaching methods that have always been used teachers and administrators need to embrace to new crop of technology that is so influential in our world.  An image of a world where every teacher keeps a blog and podcasts their lessons seems like an unlikely scenario right now but it is certainly not an impossibility.  I think more in service education is needed to help teachers who feel skittish about new technology make the transition into the digital age.
