Your questions and the comments that result make the point for you: Web 2.0 isn't about the "skill" of blogging or wiki building or mashingup. It is about where web technology is right now, and soon won't be any longer. You are moving on and that's not good - it's great. It's the way it should be. As a writer, as a learner, as a unique and magnificent person, don't stay the same for long. But institutions aren't as nimble as people and can't change as rapidly. So teachers will hold on to whatever seems to work to help learners grow until the next thing not only appears but proves itself. And we really don't expect you to hang around. We want you to go to where you should be next, but we hope you take with you some of what we shared along the way. As for leaders and doers, Robert's comment about the "1 percent rule" is a good one, but it doesn't just apply to Web 2.0. That's the way of life. Most of us contribute very quietly simply by showing up. And yes, the 89 percent who lurk are critically important; without that reading audience no one would create the content just to admire it. As a teacher I'm happy to help the lurkers make life the best it can be for themselves and those around them. Another great post on this great blog, Lindsea.

Recently i just remembered that I was a subscriber of s2oh and that i once had a blog that quite a few people came every day... i'm trying to get back also edublogosphere makes me a good person but does not necessarily raise my numerical values such as gpa (wait i'm being such an asian); and blog managing consumes a lottt of time (at least for me)which made no sense to my parents because it does not raise my values that are shown in numbers and letters (my parents are asian too). now i'm trying to get back on... a couple of my friends too. hope to get back and see you guys soon. and i apologize for leaving the sphere without really saying anything haha but it's not like i left on purpose or something(lame excuse) -soojin from starbucks korea with my friend preparing an argument that new deal prolonged the depression hello lindsea, really really long time no see

I think that it would be wonderful if students were a) rewarded for already participating and b) encouraged to participate in online projects. In my own life, the internet world and the "real world" have become synonymous--the interactions that I have and the content that I produce online are so strongly linked to the "real world" that I hesitate to call them separate things. I know that some teachers have created great online forums for students to pool their work together and collaborate online...and I think that's great. I guess that when those interactions and projects become the norm rather than the exception, we'll be closer to what you're describing. However, I don't believe that it "won't take much more effort to start this." How do you engage students and make them become doers? It seems like nothing but organic growth and passion would initiate that. Then you have to ask, how do you inspire organic growth and passion? What do you think? @chard Students definitely should start blogs, I think...but why would they want to continue them after the class is over? Will they be making new blogs for every class? Is writing an essay, publishing it, and forgetting about it practically the same as turning in an essay? @suzanne No worries! On this end, at least, my curiosity will remain burning and my blog will keep being updated. I mostly wanted to address this strange feeling of transient blogging that I'm getting from a lot of students. @Steven Great ideas! Let's exchange emails? (Mine is lindseak@gmail.com.) @robert
