web2teacher


My name is Paul Reid and I'm interested in social software.

This tumblog is a my way of collating web2.0 in education links and digital bitz as I navigate my way through information overload.

I'm particularly interested in the question of how web2.0 tools can add value to the knowledge generated by the digital natives we have in our industrial age educational institutions.

I believe user engagement, connectivism and critical literacy will become central to the efficacy of curriculum ICT integration. And in 21C classrooms, infrastructure simplicity and access to integrated content production are essential to this aim.

In my spare time I run a couple of educational group blogs called Digital Chalkie and AusMacEd as a means to link with fellow educators interested in empowering their students through the use of ICTs.

This tumblog is an aggregator without a comment function so you'd need a tumblog to engage in dialogue about this content. Please contact me here if you'd like to speak with me about all things web2.0 in education.
