Building a classroom learning community: three instructional design principles for a Web 2.0 world

Sampling teachers from the Intel Teach Essentials course on Web 2.0 tools, the researchers interviewed 39 teachers using blogs, wikis and other Web2.0 applications in their classrooms to explore the factors they feel are important to effective use. These three principles are explained: Web2.0 tools need to be part of the classroom’s daily practices; the community is the audience and the audience matters; and behavioral guidelines that encourage students to take intellectual risks and give and receive feedback are important for the offline and online community.
