The other is the pace at which technology and interface trends change. In fact, as Weebly, shows us, it is now no longer necessary to have any knowledge of web code to create a website. I think the bigger issue is the idea that connectivity, regardless of interface, will become more a part of teaching - particularly if we want to engage today's students. Perhaps as Herring (2011) suggests about websites needing to be evaluated on their educational merits - the use of any technological tool should be because it is the best vehicle for learning not simply for the sake of using technology.
O'Connell (2008) refers to informal learning spaces and the opportunities for personalised learning that web 2.0 can provide suggesting that it's part of the TLs role to structure this material to promote information literacy. This make me think of the value social bookmarking could potentially have - which links back to web 3.0 and the idea of making meaning and connections of data
web 3.0 - the semantic web. The idea of filtering the filters, aggregating, integrating and adding value to content - making sense of the data. But whose sense and how to describe? This is a great video! I have been more and more drawn to Judy O'Connell's work - i wish my blog held a fraction of her insight and knowledge!
