Game Changer: Web 2.0

It's amazing how much technology has empowered both teachers and learners to take control of education. With Web 1.0, we were pretty much living under the monopoly of companies that controlled web content. Today we have the ability to be the source of the content via Web 2.0.

As teachers, having the ability to create content and reach our students is a major advancement in education.  Aside from Moodle or Blackboard, we can create content for our students free via the use of social media platforms. This is just something an educator can do as a personal choice. Now it seems that educational institutions have seen the wisdom in using Web 2.0 platforms that a school based in London has reportedly had an MBA program delivered entirely through a Facebook app. At first glance, this may seem like a less than professional way to handle education. But on the contrary, this is just the reality and possibilities that Web 2.0 brings to the table. Undoubtedly, the internet has changed the way we approach education. Thank you Tim Berners-Lee!
