Schools and Web 2.0: a critical perspective
Abstract
This article offers an overview of the educational implications of web 2.0 technologies for schools – arguing that current portrayals of web 2.0 use replicate a long-standing tendency in education for exaggerated and ideologically driven reactions to technology. The article concludes by arguing for the need to retain a cautious, if not critical, perspective on schools and web 2.0 – seeking to find ways of using web 2.0 technologies to work with schools, rather than against them.Downloads
