ACTEM 2008 Reflection

It seems the Web 2.0 buzz has simmered and perhaps teachers have chosen their favorites and using them adequately or maybe they couldn't find a use for them.

I always feel that teachers who become keynote speakers and consultants never provide the samples and pathways for the trench-work when it comes to teaching 21st century literacies. I want to hear and see detailed samples and reflections on unitwith Web 2.0 tools. Instead they inform us why we should use the surfeit of tools and the (yet unseen) benefits of them. Chances are none of these consultants have ever taught using Web 2.0 tools (perhaps some have).
