Share ideas and so learn faster from collective knowledge

Web 2.0 is about organizing like-minded people in different places for causes

Rules of the RoadWeb 2.0 Technologies supplements

but does not replace direct human touch

Web 2.0 is intrusive and so forces transparency People will find out the truth Why afraid of intrusive things?

Everything is “live,” but archived so be wise about what say and reveal

Rules of the RoadNo more gatekeepers

Direct access is the norm Implications on our relationships with students Implications for making relationships on campus

Discipline vs. Nuisance Like anything, Weekly

gathering, visiting campus, prayer letters – takes discipline

Learning curve steep but getting gentler

Forums“An Internet forum, or message board, is an online discussion site. It is the

modern equivalent of a traditional bulletin board, and a technological evolution of the dialup bulletin board system. People participating in an Internet forum may cultivate social bonds and interest groups for a topic may form from the discussions.”

WikisA wiki is a website that uses wiki software, allowing the easy creation and

editing of any number of interlinked Web pages/documents with easy search capability. In other words a place where people can store many documents that all of them are editing together to created a body of information. (e.g.wikipedia)
