As I learn more and more about all the educational possibilities of web 2.0, I continue to ponder how to counter people's negative reaction to social networking. In my school district, it seems as though anything related to blogs and wikis is blocked. I have lost track of the number of times I have proposed uses of blogs and wikis as a way to engage students in standards-based content only to be met with less than enthusiastic responses.
Taking the "23 Things" tutorial is my way of delving deeper into web 2.0 so that I have the background to support new technologies from a comfortable knowledge base. I am also very open to suggestions on how to persuade others, especially administrators and IT people, that blogs and wikis are a prime opportunity not to be overlooked. Once I have the powers-that-be on board, I think I can persuade a few teachers to give web 2.0 a whirl.
