How can teachers benefit from web 2.0 technologies?

This video was recorded on the 6th October 2008 during a series of presentations at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. The recording was created by the team at the Centre for Educational Development. I was interviewed by myfriend and former colleague, Adrian Lu.

The original recording was captured with a single take and lasted approximately twenty minutes. The team at NTU is editing the entire video down to something like 8 minutes. They will be adding graphics, background, etc. I simply split the recording into four separate clips. The interview was divided into four questions. Each is listed below.

• What is web 2.0?
• How can teachers and students exploit web 2.0 technologies for teaching and learning?
• How can teachers benefit from web 2.0 technologies?
• How can students benefit from web 2.0 technologies?
