Web 2.0 technologies for learning at KS3 and KS4
Becta commissioned the University of Nottingham in conjunction with London Knowledge Lab and Manchester Metropolitan University to research Web 2.0 technologies for learning at Key Stages 3 and 4. The purpose of this research was to help shape Becta’s own thinking and inform policymakers, schools and local authorities on the potential benefits of Web 2.0 technologies and how their use can be effectively and safely realised. There are four reports.
Report 1: The current landscape - opportunities, challenges and tensions (May 2008)
Report 2: Learners' use of Web 2.0 technologies in and out of school in Key Stages 3 and 4 (June 2008)
Report 3: Implementing Web 2.0 in Secondary Schools: Impacts, barriers and issues(September 2008)
Report 4: E-safety issues in using Web 2.0 (September 2008)
