Wikinomics- How Mass Collaboration Changes the World

Finally getting around to reading the book, Wikinomics, I was just getting ready to post my thoughts, but I had a better idea. Watch Don Tapscott’s presentation at the Enterprise 2.0 Conference, and then read the book.

It’s a great book that reinforces the need for change in the way we teach to meet the learning characteristics of the new generation of kids in our classes. They won't go away, according to Tapscott, there are more than 2 billion "baby-boom echos" world-wide.

The web 2.0 has created great tools to use with these digital students, who are collaborative and participatory in nature by growing up digitally. Our task is simple, provide opportunities for students to use these tools in their course work.

Listen to Wikinomics: Winning with the Enterprise 2.0 (#11) and learn how the convergence of technology, globalization, and the changing culture of a new generation of workers are creating the 'perfect storm'.
