In working with Social Studies, Science, and Mathematics teachers this school year we have been able to share information about 21st Century Learning and Web 2.0 skills. Although the interest in these topics has been pretty high, the level of involvement is still quite low. There are only a handful of teachers that have created single blog entries, and there has been basically zero participation in discussion forums within Moodle.
These tools have great potential to enhance the teaching and learning process for teachers, students, and administrators. As with many new technology tools, without the acceptance and support of administrators there is little chance of success. Wesley Fryer recenctly created a skype podcast with Scott McLeod talking about the role administrators can play in the advancement of Web 2.0 tools in their schools. This blog post also includes numerous links to other valuable resourses for administrators.
