Chapter 3 New Tools || Chapter 1: Web 2.0 - interactivity went from linking and clicking to creating and sharing in the early 2000s. Individuals create and share in addition to finding and reading. New Web is open and democratic. Most content is free. Best example is Wikipedia.40% of Internet adult users read blogs. Impact of Web 2.0 on businesses - LinkedIn and other social networking sites are used by businesses. Every student needs 21st century skills to succeed and teachers need to be trained, too. Four categories of skills - digital age literacy, inventive thinking, effective communication and high productivity.

Chapter 2: Students set the trends, they are "the wired generation", native speakers of the digital language. Communicaiton is a key motivator for students and students are strong believers in the power of technology. Preschool children are one of the fasting growing groups to be online. Sixth grade is the toipping point when students begin to show enthusiasm for using technology for communication Technology is not an "extra." There is a new Cognitive Taxonomy - see page 36

Chapter 3: New tools include lots of Open Source software.....Blogs, Wikis, Podcasting, Photo sharing(Flickr.com), photo editing (Photostory, Google's Picasa) Video showcasing (Youtube) and social bookmarking (del.icio.us).
