Regarding the video I posted a few days ago…
YouTube, the site where the video is located, is blocked by the district filter. So you’ll have to view it at home, I guess. The link is here.
This video was produced and posted by an associate professor at Kansas State. It contains timely, thought-provoking content dealing with the future of the web. Isn’t it ironic that we can’t view it in our own schools?

Web 2.0, the Read-Write web – call it what you like but know that it’s a huge topic these days. No longer is the web a static “read-only” presence. These days folks like you and me (and our kids) can easily post content to the web to contribute to what’s there. Think blogging and podcasting. Think YouTube, flickr, and del.icio.us. Granted, some of this content may not be worth every reader’s time – but that doesn’t impact on our right to post it. We are all authors, all contributors. Or we could be.
This past weekend, links to a short film posted to YouTube started floating around the blogosphere. It’s a well done piece about Web 2.0 – how the web as we know it is changing. Take a look.
