Comments on: del.icio.us not Tasty for Everyone http://techne.edublogs.org/2008/02/26/delicious-not-tasty-for-everyone/ just another blog about technology, the web and learning Thu, 30 Oct 2008 16:20:14 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.2 hourly 1 By: Steve Mackenzie http://techne.edublogs.org/2008/02/26/delicious-not-tasty-for-everyone/comment-page-1/#comment-12 Steve Mackenzie Wed, 05 Mar 2008 16:21:30 +0000 http://techne.edublogs.org/2008/02/26/delicious-not-tasty-for-everyone/#comment-12 Good post and some good observations. Is it that maybe some teachers just won't get it or don't want to get it. They maybe have not bought into the concept of give and you shall receive. To the likes of me and you the whole web 2.0 thing is a no brainer. What are your percentages? When you introduce this to staff please tell me for at least 50% a light bulb switches on. let's assume that is correct. I reckon that you can nab another 35% through education. It should be compulsory that all teaches are certified as having completed an introduction to web 2.0 course with the course delivered in a connective, contributory and collaborative style. Thus modelling for the teachers the concept and hopefully how you they should recognize the benefits. having said all the above i think you have a good point about language and that this is all part of finding the best way to educate. Have not thought too deeply about this, but the whole idea of not even mentioning web 2.0, but just saying let me show you a way you can gain knowledge quicker or let me show you how you can give feedback to your students much more timely or let me show you how you can create an interesting lesson where you won't bore yourself and the students with the same tried (tired) and tested lecture :-), might be a way to go. cheers Steve Good post and some good observations.

Try promoting the idea that resource discovery will make them better academics/researchers, save them time (the one thing that no-one has enough of) and help them get more grants awarded!

We really have to understand these shifts for ourselves before we can help make sense of them for others. Thanks for reading.
