This book, a resource for educators, uses the theme of media literacy as a lens through which to view and discuss social networking and Web 2.0 environments. There is ongoing and positive research on the participatory culture created by youth who are heavily involved in the new digital technologies, yet schools tend to avoid these mediums for fear of the unknown. Can students learn within this context? This book posits that indeed they can, using media literacy as a way to provide a framework for these mediated environments. The book serves as a forum for educators and those interested in the field of media literacy, digital, and social technologies, who seek to bridge curriculum connections as well as understand the online culture of students.

This report presents findings from a two-year investigation of the ways in which Web 2.0 tools and social networking technologies are being used to support teaching and learning in classrooms across the United States. With funding from Intel[R], the Education Development Center's Center for Children and Technology (EDC/CCT) interviewed or visited over 30 educators in 22 different schools throughout the country as they employed these tools in their classrooms in innovative ways. The authors also spoke with and observed a number of students in these schools. Over the two years of their research, the sample of teachers was drawn from the Intel[R] Teach Essentials course and the network of master teachers and training agencies that has grown up around that program. Through this network of educators, the authors sent out a request for volunteers to teachers that are experimenting with Web 2.0 technologies in their classrooms. During the first year they recruited 12 individual teachers, but for the second year they targeted districts with larger groups of teachers experimenting with Web 2.0 and were able to reach 27 educators across three districts. This report is divided into two sections: (1) a summary of some of the most frequent Web 2.0 applications they encountered and (2) a discussion of different themes and issues concerning the use of Web 2.0 tools in classrooms that emerged from all the interviews and visits. Appended are: (1) Tools that create or support a virtual learning environment; (2) Tools that support communication and cultivate relationships; (3) Resources to support teaching and learning; and (4) Tools enabling students to create artifacts representing what they are learning. A bibliography is included. (Contains 4 tables and 1 footnote.).

School librarians need a simple action plan for overcoming the barriers to adopting School Library 2.0. This book provides one, and describes how fully integrating technology would dramatically benefit 21st-century schools. Web 2.0 and its associated tools have the power to substantially increase student achievement. This book has two straightforward primary purposes: to detail the research-based reasons classroom teachers fail to incorporate Web 2.0 tools into their instruction and collaboration with other educators; and to provide actionable strategies to rectify these omissions. The Secret Reasons Why Teachers Are Not Using Web 2.0 Tools and What School Librarians Can Do about It provides authoritative definitions of Web 2.0, explains the types of Web 2.0 tools suited for use in educational settings, examines the research-based reasons they are underutilized, and offers strategies for school librarians to model the use of technology-enabled tools—and for teaching others to do so. This book will benefit anyone wishing to effect a positive social change in improving student achievement: practicing K–12 librarians and educators, K–12 school and district administrators, and researchers in the field of K–12 education.
