Is Twitter only for geeks? So how much Web 2.0 is really filtering down to the average user? I find my daughter (who is 14) and my students are very engaged with Facebook, and YouTube (as viewers, not as creators) but really not so much with other Web 2.0 technologies. And really, they are not even that engaged with old internet technologies. Many of our students cannot manage an email attachment. (Or a Save As... to use an even older technology.
So Twitter is for geeks? I look at it as excluding me because I don't text message. I am "connected" enough with my email and the chat program that I occasionally use.
I also use Facebook, but I try to not be a resident of a "creepy treehouse"
So how critical is the use of Web 2.0? And how do we make students engage the media that they use instead of just consuming? Questions, questions. And no answers.
