Which Technologies will shape education in 2008?
After powerful web2.0 tools and other web applications were born, individual participation in web publishing has increased. This is especially true for those who grew up with computers who use them so naturally. Imagine, how much content is published online daily, audio, video, flash animated content, and other content produced collaboratively are easily created by using web2.0 tools. Current education is adapting to use these new online technological tools in teaching and learning. I wonder about whether or not we are too focused on trying out new tools rather than the content of the subjects.

I think that we, as educators, are in a beta stage with these new tools. Many of us are focusing on how to use them, and are the ones, in fact, who are 'pioneering' how they can be useful. It does require some time put towards learning how to use them.
