ITEC 830, Day One

It was really interesting to read everyone's interpretation of Web 2.0. I thought about the comment relating to how users are now contributors, rather than consumers, relishing the idea that everyone can have a voice on the web. As a high school teacher, I have introduced blogs, podcasts and Google Docs to my students, with the objective of teaching them to use these tools as the vehicle to transmit their ideas to a very large audience. I like to think that Web 2.0 can empower individuals to communicate a message, find their voice and display their talents. It will be very exciting to learn more about these tools so that I can share them with my students and colleagues.
