Web 2.0 issues relate to all sorts of aspects of our lives, even as researchers and educators. Previously we’ve discussed the idea of publishing 2.0, faculty 2.0, and the vision students have of education. Similar stuff, including similar videos (again from TeacherTube, where one can also find SCM-related videos!), exist also for elementary schools and high schools; relating educational matters to globalisation in general and the one-laptop-per-child (OLPC) project in particular. What is most interesting, though, is the security aspect of educational shifts: one of the “hot topics” in the discussion forum of “shift happens” is how to create secure environments for school kids to connect to each other, blog, surf the web etc. While children are already “there” in terms of using new technology, educational platforms and technology plans are left behind. Dangerously irrelevant, some call it. I just wonder, while teaching issues related to material and information flows, just how trained are we to manage such information flows in the (virtual) classroom?
