The post title is a little play on "Web 2.0," which is jargon for the biggest Internet fad of recent years: many-to-many and related collaborative computing technologies such as weblogs and other RSS-enabled platforms, wikis, and podcasts. In due course Web 2.0 technologies will get absorbed into the fabric of the "ordinary" Internet, and the "fad" label will attach to something else. (It may already have attached elsewhere, if you follow the bread crumbs being left by interest in "cloud computing.")
Absorption of Web 2.0 technologies into existing information practices is time-consuming and expensive, but much of the time, the payoff is worth the investment. Case in point, and the reason for this post: Chris Stengel, technology director for the Mt. Lebanon School District, has been working to bring Web 2.0 techniques into Mt. Lebanon teaching. To learn more, take a look at this presentation that he helped to put together for PETEC (it's a wiki, natch) -- the Pennsylvania Educational Technology Expo and Conference, held earlier this week in Hershey. In that presentation, he describes "Administrator 2.0 Academy," a program that Chris put together last summer for Lebo administrators, designed to raise their knowledge baseline about Web 2.0 possibilities.
Chris also posts sometimes to FarFromBlöggin. Pop culture historians and Volkswagen enthusiasts will understand the reference to Fahrvergnügen. Très clever.
