Conference "Education 2.0"

Today I happened to attend the conference " Education 2.0 " which was held in Moscow (New Manege).

The conference began with a debate on which the problems of the influence of the Internet on education, as well as the Internet as an instrument of education, were voiced.
Those who have already been able to apply modern technologies somewhere (including a focus on Web 2.0) in education were invited as experts.




From experts I think the most recognizable person on the Internet is Ilya Shchurov
(Deputy Editor-in-Chief of the Computerra weekly and one of the project administrators, Wikibooks , second from the left)
')
In general, all these debates did not lead to anything, all the questions and topics were mixed, but I think the participants made a number of conclusions for themselves.
I brought a small line for myself:
The Internet in our life is a tool, but as any tool it can be used for good and for harm. The goal of our education should be to teach children how to use this tool for useful purposes, and generally teach how to use this tool. But in order to teach, you need to know yourself, which cannot be said about the majority of our teachers ...


In general, everything else concerns the imperfection of our education system ...

Further, after the debates, there was a 5-hour program of master classes in 4 classrooms with breaks at the Coffee Break. These workshops taught about the features and settings of GoogleApps, as well as their practical application on the websites of educational institutions ... But I didn’t discover anything new there (I think this will not be new to my readers either), so I will not cover them.

At the end, Google distributed to everyone a bag with branded T-shirts and 1GB flash drives, which contained a description of the seminar and all the master classes in PDF format.
