I had a great meeting with a lecturer I have a huge amount of respect for. Everytime I speak to her I am inspired and enthusiastic, maybe I should have her on tap each evening before I get stuck into my dissertation. She could easily offer a cure for writters block.
Our conversation about the use of the web for learning made me think about the world today and how the culture of information is very different. I also came accross a great article about the use of the net and social networking sites now apparently getting more hits than google, quite amazing and demonstates the social rather than knowledge application of the internet.

My journey into Web 2.0. tools
I am just starting my journey into the use of Web 2.0 tools in Education. I am not new to this topic as I have already covered it on my Post Grad Dip in Online & Distance Education through the Open University.
It is now time to put my learning into action for a Web 2.0 in H.E. funded project at Worcester College of Technology. I am keen to use as many Web 2.0 tools as possible, but only if they offer an enhancement to the learning process, in essence I want to use the best tools to do the job and not use IT for ITs sake.
