Web 2.0/Open source Concepts:

Many Educators/Bloggers responded to the call on a wiki "What's important for educators to know about the Read/Write web?"

We are all better off when we work together.
No one is smarter than everyone.
Active learning is more effective for the teacher, student and system than passive learning.
Interdependance is the only sustainable method.
The shift to sutainable systems is not optional.
We have the ability to create anything, what are we going to create?
"Creating 21st Century solutions with 19th Century information and methods, may not work, it's the definition of insanity."(Einstein). ? Can evidence of this quote be found?

Learning	Learning - Adding and connecting information to form memory networks in the brain or physical and emotional parts of your being. i.e. Mental: 1 + 1 = 2 Emotional: I feel happy when I achieve my goals. Physical: Training my index finger to type the H on the keyboard saves time.
Learning 2.0	Learning 2.0 - Using web 2.0 philosophies and activities to learn. Fundamentally is the way we learn but is now capable of being applied to the masses through the use of pedagogy 2.0 and technology. i.e. Learning 1.0 Bob and Steve form a study group at Steve's home on Tuesday. Learning 2.0 Bob and Steve form a study group on the school social network where everyone can participate when they are available.

Networked Teacher If educators are ever going to engage the tools of the present day Internet, we'll have to keep abreast of many evolving technologies. Scott Wilson's diagram, and Alec Couros' 'The Networked Teacher', highlight many Web 2.0 tools.
Pedagogy	Pedagogy - Strategy of teaching. i.e., Teacher stands in front of a class, presenting informtion to students at desks, assigning homework, and assesing their understanding of the material via pen and paper style tests. (Doing the same style of test on a computer is not pedagogy 2.0)
Pedagogy 2.0	Pedgaogy 2.0 - Strategy of teaching using web 2.0 concepts. i.e., Teacher becomes a facilitator putting students at the center of the learning experience. Facilitator creates outcomes with students and provides a timeline and support sytem for active learning. Asseses based on ability to demonstrate set outcomes were achieved, or explain why they were not. i.e. If pedagogy 1.0 is using a fire to keep warm, pedagogy 2.0 is wrapping yourself in a sleeping bag designed to use your own body heat to keep you warm.

Wiki	A wiki is a type of website such as Wikipedia that lets anyone create and edit its pages, enabling fast and easy collaboration. The word Wiki is short for WikiWikiWeb. Wikiwiki is a word from Hawaiian, meaning "fast" or "speed." In a wiki, people can write pages and edit content together. If one person writes something wrong, then the next person can correct it. The next person can also add something new to the page. People can discuss there as well, which can make people understand things better, and/or gives them a chance to tell their views. Wikis can be used for different things and all wikis don't follow the same rules for using them.
