However,supporting business through education through sole use of youtube is questionable-open source software should be used. It is noted that the kids didnt know much about copyright -Remember that youtube OWNS the video you upload. Regards from NZ Mike.E Very fascinating.I find this through a youtube video.

I also think that the vocational education and training area in Europe offers much more interesting potential for pedagogic innovation using web 2.0 technologies than does traditional academic education. the focus practice of much VET can - at least in theory - be mixed with web 2.0 ways of making and doing things. Hoping to get a new project this year working on e-Portfolios with apprentices in a major steelworks. Yes - tend to agree with you re K12 Michael.

However, as we implement various social technologies we will be conducting research and hope to have positive results to follow. What I have found of interest is that the K-12 arena seems to have more direct front line information on the use of constructivism, blended learning and the use of technology in the classroom. See the blog of this educator from Tasmania as an example - http://hent.blogspot.com/2008/01/doing-it-differently-c-social-learning.html.
