Understand the Educational Potential

Right now, you have at your fingertips a suite of Web 2.0 tools to help you manage your top educational priorities. Is your district as successful as it needs to be? If not, Web 2.0 can help you:

Meet the needs of different kinds of learners
Keep students interested and engaged in learning
Improve the relevance of schoolwork
Develop communications, collaboration and critical thinking skills- and many other valuable skills
Extend learning beyond the school day
Build a sense of community and culture of learning

Web 2.0 empowers people to connect, access an incredible array of resources, and use these connections to people and resources to work productively and learn. Three main themes characterize the educational potential:

A participatory culture in which students and educators can be more active and engaged contributors
Anytime, everywhere learning that erases the constraints of time and space on education
Transformational change in the way people interact and learn, and in the ways schools organize and support teaching and learning
