I’ve created this weblog to pull together (the web lingo is “aggregate”) resources that may be of use to those of us working on e-learning projects at The New School. In particular, a number of questions have been raised in several committees (NSO, Sloan, Bachelor’s Program Curriculum Development, etc.) concerning the term “Web 2.0″.
- What does it mean?
- What kinds of resources are we talking about?
- How is it different than the way the web has been used in the past (Web 1.0?)
The first set of links in the panel on the far right side of this page serve as introductions to educational social software and Web 2.0 as a practice. If you roll over the titles of the links with your mouse you should see a brief description for most entries.
Notice that there is a space just below this post for comments. This will appear under each post. Feel free to make use of it. If you would like to be added to the blog as a team member (with superpower privileges such as posting, creating links, etc., let me know. And if you find things we should add but don’t want to do it yourself, just put them in a comment box or email them to me and I’ll add them to the links on the side of the page.

Of everything that I’ve read so far about Web 2.0, my favorite source is a book by Peter Morvile, an “information architect”, titled Ambient Findability. In my classes on Web 2.0, this is an assigned text–it is a clear, compelling and fascinating discussion about all the various threads that make up the Web 2.0 phenomenon.
What about starting a new thread to pull together our favorite Web 2.0 enabling tools? (eg RSS readers and optimizers; social news aggregators; etc?)
