"Zillions of photos, videos, blogs and more (some of them have to be good)" advertises Technorati and it's potential impact in this evolving exponentially expanding web environment. With the ability to create keyword tags we have the potential to locate valuable resources and share with other users.
SJLibrary2.0 produced eight blog post results today. School Library Learning 2.0 produced 1,236 post blogs. I especially like the quick view feature. Tagging is the element which allows us to socially interact and benefit from others participation. But that also is a potential limitation. Participants will not have a systematic method for tagging and are subject to spelling and/or grammar lapses resulting in missed opportunities.
"The Sky's the Limit" article published in Edutopia July/August 2007 refers to "the enormous disparity between the world in which students live and their life in the formalized educational environment of the classroom." When asked what they would like to see in their classrooms students suggestions several possible thought provoking ideas.
Library Media Teachers are needed now more than ever to assist with the ethical use of new tools, integrate them into our classrooms for student achievement and assist in training our teachers in using new tools as applications to engage our digital students for the 21st century as critical thinkers.
