It has a brief introduction to Web 1.0, Web 2.0, Twitter, del.icio.us, Google Docs, Surveys, Wikis, Slideshare.net.

It is from The Whiteboard Blog.

You just have to read the online comments on their blog to see how controversial this topic is.

I think it has pros and cons.

You should not have to memorise literature in order to answer exam questions. Is this the new “Open Book” exam?

What is the purpose of the exam? Are you trying to test whether the student has learnt what has been taught?

How do they manage the situation where everyone is in an exam room together and some are using phones – how do the students, who are thinking, concentrate with all the noise (or are Net Gen’s used to noise?)

How about students who cannot afford the technology (the Digital Divide, see earlier posts)? Would the school provide the technology for all?
