What is School 2.0?
School 2.0 is all about why and how we can use Web 2.0 tools in support of teaching and learning.
Media Literacy
- “Media literacy is the notion that learning how to use new media technologies, online collaboration tools, personal publishing and live video streaming gear is not just about being cool and hip but it is a set of fundamental skills every young person should be equipped with to be able to navigate the digital realities increasingly surrounding us.”
Robin Good from “New Media Literacy In Education: Learning Media Use While Developing Critical Thinking Skills” - Flat Classrooms
“In many cases, students communicate more, construct original content more, and more often collaborate virtually with other people, than do their teachers. Those teachers who pretend to stand on higher ground, appear, to many of their students, to be standing on quicksand.”
