In the fast changing world of the internet, it is sometimes difficult to see what the next big thing will be, and how it will affect us as educators. In this short lecture, Helena examines how the internet has changed over time and the distinctive elements of web 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0. Understanding these differences helps us and teachers and our pupils understand how the web is changing and the implications for us as teachers.
How can you, as a teacher, prepare students for the technological world into which they will grow, when change is so rapid? If you have any actual examples or resources, please share – your thoughts and ideas are valuable too!
