Today we start over at User Generated Education with Dr. Gerstein's fabulous post on "Education 3.0"  In the article, Gerstein describes the importance of developing an Ed 3.0 environment where students are creators of content and where learning is more self directed.  She also provides a great timeline on how education, ed tech, and the role of the teacher have changed over the past few decades.  Plus much, much more, definitely check out the when you have a minute.

And while we're on the topic, Edudemic has a new post, "What is Web 3.0 And How Will it Change Education."  The article argues that we're currently living in the transition between web 2.0 and web 3.0.  And if you have no idea what all this 2.0 business is, this article is a great place to start, they have a good graphic explaining what it all means and how it relates to the classroom and to education in general.

And continuing the trend, the Ed Tech Review has an article on "Technology: An Essential in the 21st Century Classroom."  The post describes what the ideal classroom for an Ed 3.0 environment might look like.  They argue that the classroom "would be designed with two key concepts in mind: technology access and student-centered architecture."

Free Tech for Teachers outlines "Four Reasons Your Students Should Join the Quest2Matter."  Quest2Matter is sponsored by the organization Choose2Matter and is designed to help students across the world collaborate and "share ideas and actions for solving problems that have meaning to them."  It's a great organization and idea and worth thinking about over the summer break.

Lisa Nielsen at The Innovative Educator has a new post on the first "#StuVoice Google Hangout" in which a group of student leaders discussed social media.  The group covers education on the proper use of social media, classroom use, the importance of choice, and the most commonly used social media platforms.  You can check out the chat below:

Ed Reach has a new review of "Night Zookeeper Drawing Torch" an iPad app that is designed to be used in conjunction with the Night Zookeeper website.  The app gives students a mission which combines drawing, story telling, and creating.  It's free to use and would be perfect for early elementary students.  Ed Reach has a video review of the app as well.

Finally, Tom Vander Ark has a new post in Education Weekly about my home town!  "Smart Cities: Kansas City."  The article discusses how the Kansas City Kansas School District has completely turned around a failing district over the past 15 years by using math bench-marking, workforce experiences, accelerated career academies, and a whole lot of technology.  It's great to read about a district doing so well and I'm especially happy to see Kansas representing!
