District Administrators See Advantages of Web 2.0 in School
The Journal
While K-12 district administrators are “overwhelmingly positive” about the value of Web 2.0 in schools, the use of Web 2.0 tools in actual learning environments is “quite limited,” according to the results of a new study from the Consortium for School Networking (CoSN), a professional association for district technology leaders. The report revealed several key findings related to administrators’ attitudes toward and experience with Web 2.0 and policies related to the use of certain forms of these technologies. One of the more significant and surprising of these revelations was, as mentioned, that administrators were overwhelmingly positive about the ways in which Web 2.0 can be of benefit to students in their academic endeavors. And, further, there was agreement on this across the administrator groups studied.
