A video presentation on Web 2.0 by Graham Stanley talks about recent changes in Education system. How this technology and gadgets have replaced traditional chalk and talk method. In the initial minutes it makes us aware about web 2.0, tools and what he is going to present in next few minutes. In his words web 2.0 makes the whole world a global classroom. Anyone from anywhere can be part of education and contribute his/her ideas, thoughts etc.

 As the video proceeds we get to know four tools; Blogs, Wiki, Podcast and videos. Basically all the four tools provide lots of opportunities and freedom. Talking about Blogs where teacher can use it as classroom or Display Board where we display our students work. Here, students can share and ask. Wiki is for those who want to contribute something. Wiki is sort of collaborative work. It has one good thing and that is some revised function. We can say it’s an open book where everyone can read and one can edit it too. BIG thumbs up for that. Podcast is one step ahead in this which has function of podcasting one’s voice. We can imagine how helpful it can be in phonetics, Pronunciation practice, or discussion. So one way to another all the tools have taken teaching learning process to whole new level. Lastly  videos which makes this process lively.

Well, in the end I would say web 2.0 is a ladder towards quality education. No bars of place, Time. All the scholars, students, teachers comes together with the help of Internet. Bit confused over this virtual world thing… Hope some comment or next lecture will help me out with that.
