Likewise, Don Hinchcliffe has done the same early in December last year.

Both pages are rich in the links to Web 2.0 resources that they contain. I’ve got them both Furl-ed.

What struck me straight away when watching this presentation was the style, the simplicity and the pace. It made me think again about the awful use of powerpoint we see, by using just single words and a lot more ‘slides’ the presentation had a lot of pace, maybe this is something we should think about when presenting to our students.

After watching the presentation it made me understand what people are going on about when they say ‘Web 2.0’ – in simplistic terms it means using the web in 2 directions. Web 1.0 or what we call the internet at present is all about reading and listening, Web 2.0 is about reading and writing, listening and speaking. It is about content publishing for all, we don’t have to be experts in the use of html we can pick from a vast array of web technologies, the most common of which at present are Blogs, Wikis and Podcasts.

A few more things struck me while watching the presentation, Ewan states that it is about ‘the TEACH not the TECH’ and about ‘using the tools not about the tools’. I think as teachers we can get too bogged down with the tool and having to learn how to use it before we use it. Give the tool to our students and they will figure it out quick enough.

There is a lot more of interest in this presentation so I won’t ruin it for you, go and watch it yourself.

To conclude … Learning with ICT is only about Learning.
