I have been a citizen in this Web2.0 for almost a year now. Prior to, embarrassingly, the extent to which I utilized the web was:
* yahoo.com for email
* amazon.com for online shopping
* travelocity.com driving directions and plane tickets
* google.com for basic random and lucky research for academic papers and lesson planning.
Last April I randomly fell into this hidden underworld and it has completely changed my life: socially, intellectually, professionally, financially, productively, and even my marriage. In every area, my life has dramatically improved. It has become my mission to share this new technology primarily in the field of education to the average to below average computer user.

Thanks for responding to my K12 presentation Alex. Your site is certainly more in depth and detailed. I browsed each part and found your level of detail very impressive. Part 1 was particularly interesting in its historical analysis of the web 2.0 development. The graphics were very useful to capture what is a actually a very abstract development process. Part 1 alone would have made a very informative presentation at the K12 conference.
If its fine with you, I’d like to link to this from my blog.
As you mentioned in your post at the k12 conference. I’ve been focusing on, what I consider the essential skills that let people “in” to the web 2.0 experience. For me, as I constantly work at bringing students and staff on board, its always a process of distilling the experience down to its basic elements and “boiling” off the extras to get at the core concepts. Comprehensive resources like yours are fantastic for people like me to help in the layering of developmental stages of web 2.0 adoption. I look forward to the other stages of your teacher’s guide. Stay in touch and let me know when its done.
Thanks
Drew
