New technologies and education

When Enrique Dans told us his thought of a collaborative environment for his 2.0 class, it seemed a great idea. Taking the class actually out of the class is something that I have never done before.

Sure, some professors in the University (specially those involved with Creative Commons licenses or even GNU licenses - not just following trends, but creating them;don't worry, I'll talk about the licenses in following posts) tried to make a collaborative environment to try to enhance innovation, discussions, human relationships.

But this is new, because not only we have to write of some defined topics as this same one (the introduction of blogs, microblogging, a "virtual me"), but to expand our scope and start to express our opinion, our vision of the future, of the trends and our lives in the unknown and feared arrival of the web 3.0.

I think this experience is going to improve the learning process and also the learning curve, as it is not the same to be told what the new trend are than experiencing it by yourself.

Welcome, virtual me. Welcome, Virtual World, or better, Real Virtual World.

See you soon,

Carlos
