Everything For Nothing : Web 2.0 Antics

Today I had some serious fun over at http://www.moblog.co.uk/blog/moblobro06

Not only are people actually doing something there, it seems to be a reasonable resonance of the awareness that educators are seeking better ways of working…in spite of the issues they find themselves in due to the aging architectures of the respective institutions.

On the way home I had a chat with Anne Paterson about web 2.0 and then upon retiring back to my computer station console and operating suite, I composed the following thought about how web2.0 rhymes with poo ;

…………………..or maybe the ambiguity of it all is the good part.

Now here’s a thought - the paradox of the web 2.0 question discussion routine is that educators ( organisations) could be creating their own spaces / places and ‘catching’ students at it ….actually setting up free spaces within which you can do what you will…….. like a node on the outside of a well worn wart.

Register a floppy name, chuck in some mash and offer everything for nothing.

Seriously now I can see that connections, web2.0, names and wrap arounds that occur with this concept seem all so feasible. Perhaps I should buy server space and become a content enabler, cramming peoples lives into little digital spaces and zapping them occasisonally for dollars ….or would that make little sense.”

I think I’ll stick to teaching - at least for the next six weeks anyway.
