An summary of Classroom 2.0

I just watched a video titled Classroom 2.0 from Ed Tech Live. The intention of this video seemed to be bringing awareness to the necessity for technology in the classroom. The speaker talks about technology tools promoting collaboration. Students become inventors and creators of information. They become good thinkers; required for success in this modern age. Although curriculum is mandated, teachers and students need to build a relationship with the curriculum and modify this curriculum to meet the needs of the classroom. Students become "prosummers" because they make and consume information.
Classrooms are not about the teacher or the students individually, but about them all. About what they can learn together, from one another, and from others around the world. However, we need to change our attitude about the classroom and redefine what takes place in the classroom. Learning is a connective effort not an individual one. The classroom should be a global communication center.
He also stressed the need for education informatics which would allow for better tracking of student activities so we can better learn their interests and trends.
For those interested I have posted the link to the video below.
