Thing 2 Web 2.0
I found the blog very wordy and hard to understand- not sure I took in what the blogger was saying. I was motivated to learn more about Web 2.0 from the video. I think Stephen A. (man in the video) made a great point about only understanding what you have experience with yourself. If I want to be able to find ways to incorporate Web 2.0 technologies into our media center, I have to be knowledgeable about them. If Web 2.0 really is a revolution- I want to understand what it is about and know how to use Web 2.0 tools- thus the reason for doing this whole 23 things on a stick deal. The article "The Ongoing Web Revolution" was o.k. But honestly, web 2.0 could be summed up more quickly as a community of learners using online tools, and helping each other learn the tools by sharing ideas.

Writers do tend to get wordy. When you are busy, it is hard to keep reading (slogging) through it. However I think you did capture the essence of it. But there is so much to Web 2.0 - it is hard not to get excited.
Hi Sarah, I'm Scott's assistant at ERHS and finished the 23 Things during Round 1. I had so much fun doing the 23 Things and I hope you and Kathy do too! If I can help in any way, please let me know. You can check out my blog and Scott's in the Round 1 finisher's blogs. Scott's is RunawayTrain and mine is SZSRocks. Judging by your avatar, you are looking forward to summer. I hope you have a great break and have fun with the 23 Things!
You know, I think there are better videos out there about Web 2.0, and my current favorite is this one by Clay Shirky, which you might enjoy:
