Learning, Teaching, and Scholarship in a Digital Age: Web 2.0 and Classroom Research: What Path Should We Take Now? shows the differences in Web 2.0 from the web of the 1990’s.  Students use of the web today gives them the capabilities to produce and influence their own learning.  the important themes that are addressed are learner participation and creativity and online identity formation.  this article states that more research is needed but it still supports the use of Web 2.0 technologies in and out of the classroom as it broadens the amount of tools that teachers have at their disposal to teach their students.

The Teach Web 2.0 Consortium: a tool to promote educational social networking and Web 2.0 use among educators talks about how students today use social networking to communicate outside the classroom and that now Web 2.0 applications are emerging in the classroom.  This article describes how teachers can design and implement this new technology and gives recommendations.  This article also provides these ideas in multiple languages for teachers all around the world.  This was a very practical article and it can be easily applied. This article was very interesting because the idea of social networking has been scarry in the past as their are predators on the internet especially in social networking.

Integrating the iPod Touch in K-12 Education: Visions and Vices advocates the use of the ipod touch in the classroom and summarizes the research that has been done so far.  It then talks about the individual applications that based on research the authors recommend and talks about how to implement the use of them in your classroom.  This article breaks it down by grade and subject. I found this interesting as when a graduate assistant I researched various applications and taught the faculty here at Berry how to use them.
