Chapter 2 Students and Learning

Chapter 3 New Tools || Students are doing more creating instead of just learning. As educational leaders, we should understand changes in the web and how they reflect changes in the world around us. What we know today as the internet evolved from military to academic to commercial. An american households 71 percent have web access and ages 13-24 now spend more time online than they do in front of tv. Schools are still more text dominated and don't integrate tech properly. Web syndication is making info available to other websites or individual subscribers. Podcasting is a way to distribute multimedia files. Open source provides a rich and growing set of applications that can be used as learning tools. ||
