I am sitting in a web 2.0 presentation given By Tim Wilson. The presentation covered basic web 2.0 applications with some touches on how to integrate into a classroom. The content was presented well and with strong immersion of humor. The most impact for/ part of the presentation was Tim’s section on Challenges to implementing web 2.0 and professional development.

Challenges:

•  safety
•  security
•  legitimate web safety program throughout your student body

Professional Development:

•  Get with the ones that are ready to go
•  take a leadership role
•  walk the walk

Assessment:

•  Embrace new ways to evaluate learning
• de-emphasize individual assessment

Equity:

•  Diversity and the digital divide
•  Relevance Race
•  Prepare students for the future world

Great end to a thought provoking message.
