Web 3.0

Tara Hunt touches on the new rules for social media in her slideshare. While related specifically to business, each of the rules has application and meaning within the elearning realm. The full Pulse article in linked in is here. The basic idea being communicated is a paradigm shift from products targeting the masses to listening to customer needs/desires and tailoring products to the individual. Judy O' Connell more thoroughly explores this theme with her slideshare on Web 3.0 and education. The concept of interactive inquiry is what will drive learning, where instead of teachers educating a class (mass) of students they are tailoring learning experiences to individual student needs. She summarizes this on slide 106, stating "...crafting an environment where students can always know what, where, and how to be the best learners they can possibly be." It is a very exciting time to be an educato...or a very scary one!
