התקווה שבבלוג – מבט על תלמיד

I turned to the guy sitting next to me and told him about the Blog I wrote a couple of days before hand, and how there were people out there taking a serious interest in my opinion… which to be honest really surprised me. When I had finished the story there was a pause. He then asked me, “What’s a Blog??”… My only thought after that was if only he knew. If only he had discovered. Not just what a Blog is, but what a Wiki is, what an RSS or and Atom feed is. How it could benefit him. If only he had been taught…

I would like you to think about how it could be if school 2.0 was put into place… there are teenagers my age that could be in school not only learning about English, Physics or History, but gathering their own information about whatever aspect of that subject they need to know about, not only relying on that one person standing at the front of the class telling them how it is. They could be writing Blogs or making Wiki’s about what they have just learned about, and discussing it with others, not just from the same class as them, but from different parts of the world as them. What’s more is that it will all be there to refer to when exam time comes around. All the notes they’ve made, all the Blogs posts they’ve made and all the discussions they’ve had can all be accessed by typing in the URL.
