Reflections on web 2.0 in the school library

The interactive aspect of web 2.0 has so many implications for the school library and the classroom. Students can share their thoughts on books they're reading, collaborate on assignments in small group projects, learn about students in distant locations (far beyond the pen-pals of yore),
share and comment on video projects, the list goes on and on.
I am so excited and at the same time kind of scared to jump into this world but ready or not, I'm going to jump in!

  1. Yes Web 2.0 is very useful in the school library and classroom. Talking specifically about blogs, I agree that it could be useful for sharing thoughts about books and more exciting...todays take on penpals...talk about instant gratification for the students. No more waiting a week to get responses! I think being part of a library list serve or following other librarians on twitter can help us make those far away contacts to be penpals with!
