Where it goes, I have no idea - but isn't that the nature of web 2.0?bnoreply@blogger.comBlogger41100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5221588837402037171.post-46011900383774262262010-01-21T14:56:00.001-08:002010-01-21T14:56:03.751-08:00<span xmlns=''><p>test</p></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5221588837402037171-4601190038377426226?l=edtech-2.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>bnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5221588837402037171.post-86638995864118591852007-05-11T07:34:00.001-07:002007-05-11T07:34:15.434-07:00<span xmlns=''><p>This is a test post from word to ed tech 2<br /></p></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5221588837402037171-8663899586411859185?l=edtech-2.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>bnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5221588837402037171.post-60767847330006659512007-04-05T00:24:00.000-07:002007-04-05T00:32:19.769-07:00So my <a href="http://www.emomsathome.com/blog/2007/04/04/the-worlds-largest-blog-niche-and-topic-idea-list/trackback/">eMom </a>gave me some advice as to how to get started on the blog. What topics work well...<br /><br />What I need to learn now is how to get my personal blog caught up with the rest of the blogoshere so that I'll be able to post questions and challenges and get responses from people who are smarter than I. <a href="http://www.emomsathome.com/blog/2007/04/04/the-worlds-largest-blog-niche-and-topic-idea-list/trackback/">eMom </a>?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5221588837402037171-6076784733000665951?l=edtech-2.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>bnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5221588837402037171.post-13956901122333134222007-03-31T20:18:00.000-07:002007-03-31T20:44:07.310-07:00Hello,<br /><br />hello... <span style="font-size:85%;">hello...</span> <span style="font-size:78%;">hello...</span><br /><br />I heard this theory that there are people all over sitting in front of machines like mine and carrying on discussions with others around the world. They say it will become an invaluable tool for learning - literally transforming the world of education. Sounds crazy, right?<br /><br />Well, I thought I poke my head in to see what's really going on. I am a middle-aged PhD student in Educational Psychology with an interest in Learning Technology. I have a technical background but am trying to focus more on the learning side. I keep falling back into tech but I hear that this is a curable ailment. Probably another crazy theory.<br /><br />Anyway, I am curious about how the Web 2.0 will affect education. Although there is a lot of talk about how specific tools belonging to the Web 2.0 genre can be used to benefit education, there seems to be a lack of focus on the overall paradigm shift. No discussion of actually creating the tools (<em>I know a technical throwback</em>) but part of the new paragidm is about microcontent and remixability which will give the practicing educational technologist not only pre-fabricated tools but the ability to be more creative in his/her approach to instructional design.<br /><br />A Google search of "Web 2.0" (with quotes) returns 67,300,000 hits. The same search in Google scholar returns 1,410 and if the keyword "education" is added we're down to 506 (<em>maybe I can make that 507 </em>:-). <br /><br />Ok world, let me know what you think!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5221588837402037171-1395690112233313422?l=edtech-2.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>bnoreply@blogger.com1
