This classroom is designed to introduce you to Web 2.0 and specifically, a classroom as an extension (or part of?) Web 2.0.
The New York Times is running a piece on what school will look like in ten years. What do you think the classroom will look like? Is what we're doing a preview of what's to come? Or do you think we'll go back to using pieces of slate and chalk soon?
In the world of user-generated content, each one of us is capable of becoming an overnight sensation. As we observe, discuss, and analyze Web 2.0, we will start to unravel what it means to live in Web 2.0. But mostly—as this is above all a writing course—from the first day of class, we will compose an exploration of the many forms and types of media that make up our daily experiences. In doing so, we will compose a living record of the what it means to create and compose in Web 2.0.

Ten years from now I think everything will revolve around technology. Technology has already advanced so much that we have become more dependable on it then we ever did, thefore, I believe that in the next ten years we will definitely depend completely on it to the point where chalkboards will no longer be needed.
ReplyDelete@Fabiola, I agree that 10 years from now we probably won't need chalkboards, only technology. Meanwhile, after seeing the Humanity Lobotomy video of possibly limiting internet access control, I wonder if the teachers in schools will be controlled on how much time they can spend on the Internet. Therefore, it can be a possibility that chalkboards MIGHT still be around 10 years from now. Wow, these thoughts on classes,technology, and the future, kind of have me on my tippy toes. Yikes!
