Among class materials from one of
my other courses, I found an article with an intriguing title: To Use or Not to
Use Web 2.0 in Higher Education? It was written by Gabriela Grosseck in 2009
and can be found here.
It seems that Grosseck adores using
lists of points for presenting her ideas. I usually do not appreciate that
style of writing because it overwhelms me a lot. However, in some cases it may
be useful. For instance, this “points-based” organization of an article
facilitates search for a concrete idea that you would like to cite, but have
forgotten its particular place in the text.
The article focuses on the
advantages and disadvantages of the utilization of Web 2.0 tools for enhancing
student learning in higher education. It also includes a list of particular examples
on how the Web 2.0 tools she identified can be used in the classroom (blogging
for quick peer-to-peer feedback, wikis for class FAQ, etc.)
