When reading the article Generation web 2.0 i didnt realise that there was such a resource such as this one out there for us teachers to use. Generation web 2.0 would definitely a great resouce for teachers and students to use in the classroom and one in fact that i would consider using myself.
Instead of just having the students type up there assignemts the same old ways they always have Generation web 2.0 allows the students to take their assignments and presentations just that little bit further by allowing them to incorperate tools such as pictures and the internet into their projects . Another great thing that i loved about this tool was that it allows students and teachers to interact with other teachers and students from around the world ,this would be a great way for an S+E lesson when exploring the different cultures and by having this pen pal type of interaction could really help in that area. I think that this program could be used for all ages from showing students in the lower years pictures of an excursion they had been on to those students in high school studying multimedia and exploring the different ways this tool could be used . Being a university student myself i would use this tool for my presentations as it can take your presentations to the next level.

You mentioned some good points about this new technology, however i must say i can't see much educational value of this technology in a primary setting. In high school it may be a useful tool in classrooms but in primary education, I think children need real life experiences.
