WHY WEB 2.0?

Web 2.0 is seen as the "new web" as it provides many tools that have changed how we interact with each other. Web 2.o has allowed opportunities for all to create and respond on the web without knowing HTML codes. Web 2.0 tools are social in nature and promote self expression. The advent of Web 2.0 encourages COMMUNICATION, COLLABORATION, CREATIVITY, CONNECTNESS and HIGH PRODUCTIVITY.

A video that illustrates how Web 2.0 has shifted our lives.


The shift to Web 2.0 has had a profound impact on our lives, therefore education must engage their 21st century learners by using these tools in learning and teaching. It also provides a paradigm shift in learning as they encourage more that information delivery- they involve engaging learners where the online environment they participate in provides a stage, purpose and audience for their learning. It also is a powerful medium for reflection and feedback.

Transforming Learning through ICLT

As an education officer I aim to use this blog as a place to reflect on current ICLT issue, develop a bank of tools and resources to assist teachers in the classroom and as a communication tool to build a personal learning network.

In the 21st century classroom students have access to rich information and global communication where teachers support, facilitate,encourage, and collaborate with their students. All imply an effort to connect learners to the world they are learning about. Part of our job description requires us to be learners ourselves. Life-long learners. That’s why we need convenient and unfettered access to new and emerging technologies, as well as opportunities to gain and develop skills not only to operate these tools, but also to shape and even invent networks of learnng. This blog can be one way........
