Andrew Keen might also agree, but the difference is that he doesn't like the changes he sees coming. Miss Profe, I agree with you entirely.

I then read Kevin Kelly's article. What it seems to me is allowing individuals to take responsbility and to construct knowledge, and to construct meaning from the knowledge that they gain. Which is the fundamental issue with education as I see it. A very differen species of learner is created when we give them the tools to build the ship, as opposed to giving them the ship already built. This is what Web 2.0 allows us to do. When I can view on You Tube or Google Video a short 14 minute film such as "A Girl Like Me", and use that film as an example of a person who has constructed meaning from her knowledge base, that is very powerful. Do we need more parameters on the 'Net? Yes. However, I would not want for the parameters to be created by a top-down structure. A friend of mine some time ago said this about schools: Those at the grass roots are the instruments of change." I still believe that to be true. Doug, I read Andrew Keen’s article.
