Text of the podcast

A pod cast about Read/ Write Web.

The Read/Write Web can improve the quality of teachers’ practice and the student’s learning. Learners have an easy access to online information and they can easily publish material on the net. The teachers’ and learners’ communication is no longer the same. Teachers’ have to adapt communication style to that which is technology friendly. The curriculums have to be adapted and teachers’ are now having different expectations of their students. The easy access to publishing of content on the internet also alleviates the stereotypes of teaching and learning. The learners are able to create and write about Weblogs, wikis, digital photo and digital video. The fundamentalists fear that the standardization of tests scores and government’s accountability is prejudiced. The Read/ Write Web’s constructionist, collaborative pedagogy’s seen as putting pressure on the learner to keep apace of their counterparts across the world.
