Chapter 1 The Read/Write Web

How exciting to be on the threshold of such new creative possibilities!  For educators it's a whole new "wardrobe" into  Narnia! I can foresee a whole new  approach to teaching and learning.  In this new learning environment not only will students become more invested in their education but teachers will become excited at the potential of what can be achieved.  Using weblogs "where every teacher and every student-every person with access-will have the ability to contribute ideas and experiences to the larger body of knowledge that is the Internet" pg. 5, the possibilites are endless...schools that offer multiple courses for students depending on interests!  Teachers collaborating with colleagues from around the world....The world will  become our classroom! There is a paradigm shift where it will no longer be teaching and learning but rather learning and  teaching; students will become more involved in the teaching thus owing the learning!
