Sometimes teachers get overwhelmed with how students innovate themselves through technology and how they cope with online trends. Aside from the amazement, I think it would be good to see and understand what tickles the interest of your students.

I’m not sure if this still holds true for this year, but last 2007, Anderson Analytics released a report based on a research constituting the top 10 most visited websites by college male and female students. You’ll see quite an interesting result on the research.

If you’re finding ways to reach your students off campus, I guess this survey will give you the definite answer.

I’ve stumbled also on a blog post entitled “Students as Self Advocates: Why/How Learners Should Craft Their Own Digital Footprints by Ginger Lumen”

The presentations made by young learners such as Sacha Chua is just amazing! Here’s her presentation of the Gen Y Guide to Web 2.0 at Work.

I’ve learned quite well going through PMHS’ presentation on Intro to Social Media in Education.

These presentations were just brilliant. It’s a whole new atmosphere out there with the young minds collaborating to turn the tables and teach the old educators of the new media.

The good thing with Web 2.0 is how enthusiastic the community is in sharing information and thoughts with every subject there is. And why is that important to us teachers and professors?

First, Web 2.0 is where your students are. Gone are the days when they’re just hanging out in malls and cafes (well they still are) but their connected deeper through technology. Second, it enlightens us to new ways and methods to teach our students in the non-traditional (and sometimes boring) way. Web 2.0 is their new environment, and it is where they’re excited to participate and be involved.
