Guiding Principles

I think that my guiding principles for the use of web 2.0 will evolve over time, but here is what I'm thinking about now:
  • Work with it first on my own
  • Consult with others
  • Must find ways to measure learning
  • Interactive/Collaborative in a way that supports learning
  • Helps students with discernment of sources and information
  • Potential development of Open Educational Resources (OER)

    I really like that you pointed out the need to find ways of measuring learning. It becomes more of a challenge to see if our kids really do know the material if we start allowing a variety of tech tools, especially internet based ones. I know that rubrics can help, but until we feel comfortable and have seen a set of these assessments performed it will be hard to really determine this. I think it is also a challenge for the students as they try to assess whether or not they have met the expected requirements.

    I like how simply stated your guiding principles are. I also like that you included the importance of consulting with others - this is one area that I overlooked in making mine and I think is really important (I guess I'll have to go back and do some editing!). We can only see what we make in so many ways - it really takes another person's perspective to allow us to see all of the value (or sometimes lack there of) in our plans.
