What is Web 2.0?

Individual production and user generated content
Harness the power of the crowd
Data on an epic scale
Architecture of participation
Network effects
Openness
Based on the work of P. Anderson, JISC, February 2007

Individual production and user generated content

“… something to which everyone has immediate and intuitive access, and not just to browse, but to create”
User generated content (self-publishing, personal publishing, self expression)
Widespread adoption of cheap, fairly high quality digital cameras, videos, mobile phones
News is more of a conversation
Living in an “exposure culture”
Concern about the loss of structure and authority of an edited newspaper as an institution (b/c of process of selection and reflection). --JSB

Harness the power of the crowd

cognitive decision making similar to that on Who Wants to be a Millionaire when they “ask the audience”
Acting independently, but collectively; the “crowd” is more likely to come up with “the right answer”, than an individual
Crowdsourcing builds on the popularity of multimedia sharing websites (Flickr, YouTube); user generated content is made available for re-use
Tagging: providing a means to connect items and provide their meaning in their own (the person’s) understanding. (Aggregating)

Data on an Epic Scale

Who is feeling that after Tuesday’s online class?
Google = hundreds of petabytes: A petabyte is 2 to the 50th power, or 1,125,899,906,842,624 bytes.
Collected indirectly from users and aggregated from google, ebay, flickr, amazon

Architecture of Participation

Key web 2.0 principle:
“…the service automatically gets better the more people use it.” The service connects the edges to each other and harnesses the power of the users themselves.
Those that encourage mass participation and provide easy-to-use, handy tools - lowers the barriers to participation
Open up content production to all users and expose data for re-use and combination (mash-ups)

Network Effects

The topology of the Web and the links and connections that form the conversations within the blogosphere is such that the system forms a kind of active filtration process
Related by topic and interest - form a peer-reviewing system of filtering, accreditation

Openness

Powerful force
Open standards, open source software, making use of free data, re-using data, open innovation
Epic scale of data - power not in the data itself but in the control of access to that data
Google - make it easier to organize and find things
Sharing of data - true vs. fake
YouTube - not easy to “get” the content someone else has uploaded
Some sites - user data can be exported

What is School 2.0? http://davidwarlick.com/2cents/?s=school+1.0+to+2.0+diagram

“Who will be prepared for the new world? Who will have the technological and thinking skills needed for the 21st century? And how can we help them prepare?” (Solomon & Schrum, p. 11). NETS-T 2008

Facilitate and inspire student learning and creativity
Design and develop digital-age learning experiences and assessments
Model digital-age work and learning
Promote and model digital citizenship and responsibility
Engage in professional growth and leadership
Updated NETS-T (July 2008) Old version = p. 253 in text

Making it Stick D.Jakes (as cited in Solomon & Schrum p. 22-23)

Organizational readiness
Multiple entry points supporting effective use by teachers and students
Instructional need
Add value to the instructional process
Results SHOW that student learning is improved (or teacher learning)
Take the tech out of the technology
Seamless and transparent use
Just for fun: “google” “making it stick”

The KEY

Stay focused
Organize AND centralize your data
Set aside time each day to “tackle” the data
Make it work for YOU!
