Are we aware?

Next generation web - the future’s closer than you think… or is it? by Sali Earls is an article in i.t.wales. It’s an interesting read but this paragraph caught my eye:

Whatever your business, be aware that amongst today’s users of MySpace, Flickr and YouTube are the consumers and developers of tomorrow, who will come to expect an evolving and dynamic web experience. If you can’t offer that to them they will find someone who can.

This article had a focus on business. Our business is the school. Are we aware? Are we providing an evolving and dynamic educational web experience? Will our Senators let us?

I’m still busy emailing Senators. Sigh….

    There’s no avoiding Web 2.0 right now. Sites that can’t or won’t modify their operating models to allow users to interact and/or contribute will be left far behind everyone else. The astronomical amounts that MySpace, YouTube, Digg, etc. are said to be worth shows that the big players are behind this new model.

    Boy are we? As for me? I am not actually until today. You have somehow stimulated part of me to be asking the same question and hopefully, needs answers.

    I agree. Web 2.0 is here to stay. Community site such as schoolparentnet is geared for K-12 parents and teachers.

    I’ve just discovered eschoolnews.com and this blog after reading this article:

    ‘Safe’ Social Networking Sites Emerge

    Thanks for the great resources!

    My business partners and I have been watching the rise of MySpace and Facebook very closely and have spent the last 3 years developing a safe alternative that provides students and teachers with a secure environment. What we ‘ve developed is by far the most robust, most secure and easiest to use online social network available that protects students and teachers, online.

    Hi there dear Admin, I want to show you how to get more visitors with a Wordpress Facebook Share plugin :) This plugin will politely prompt your visitor with a Share or Like button, in a small pop-up frame. Allowing them to share your site with all of their friends on Facebook.Facebook has millions of users. Which means that a plugin like this one has huge potential. The average FaceBook user has over 100 friends (many have much more) - so that means every time someone “likes” or “shares” your website, on average 100 people will see a link to your site! Can you see the enormous potential here? Go and see a demo here: http://tinyurl.com/429fbjy
