These are actually two separate thoughts lumped into one post, which for me begs the question is that proper etiquette (or n-etiquette) for a blog? I wouldn't know. I thought I was pretty cool when I could write HTML and and use command line FTP and all that. It seems that technology keeps leaping forward, so I am glad that I am teaching technology courses at my school site, and in the graduate program so that I don't fall completely behind. I still use the DOS prompt on windows. I am old school :P
I couldn't attend my first day of Itec830 class due to Back to School night at Burlingame High School. One thing I spoke about with the parents was how I have their kids use computers and the internet. I didn't SAY web2.0, but I explained how Schoolloop works (created by a SED credential student at SFSU Mark Gross), and how we use the online discussion features, email and online drop boxes.
In my Computer Graphics class the students use our website forum to do assignments and post critiques, they host their own website and load their assignments onto a gallery web page for critiques. It's a great set up and means that it is a paperless environment.
So is that web2.0? Forums, galleries and traditional web pages seem to me 1st generation ideas. So is online dropboxes and the like. When I think of web2.0 I think of sophisticated web applications that allow communication and sharing across a broad area of subjects, that is linkable to other resources, and portable (viewable via any internet connective device).

I am glad to hear that you are integrating technology in your classroom.
Your classes sound very engaging. To have that much fun. That's the the part I love about teaching.
I look forward to the vicarious experience. Please share.

I still think HTML, FTP, and DOS is cool! In fact I still use HTML, FTP, and DOS at work!
