Web 2.0 and the student. I find all this much more exciting when a bunch of teachers are in a room discussing all the wonderful things they can and will do. "This is great we will finally get our students to collaborate in deep meaningful ways!" I remember two years ago when I found out about social book marking sites, such as , I thought to myself, this is fantastic the kids will buy in. But no ...I have been very frustrated whenever I ask kids to use the web to do our work. Right now I have an Anatomy class that I have asked to use a wiki to present/share information about books individual students have read. I am amazed at the amount of complaining I have gotten. Overwhelming agreement that they would rather just do a paper book report.
