#9 (Week4) Exploring Technorati and learning how tags work with blog posts

7,471 results for Learning 2.0 in Technorati Blog posts. Really interesting Welsh article on use of cell phone technology in the classroom has created lots of comment. The study found that kids enjoyed using their cellphones to access the internet and felt motivated to learn. Some people thought it a crazy idea but hey, it has to be the way to go. My daughter would be in seventh heaven with the technology access. Okay we'd have more short sightedness and arguments over lost cellphones but if well moderated it could be a great enhancement for some kids learning styles.
Under the Blog Directory had a quick look at geekswithblogs.net and decided that this is definitely too technical a blog for me. It's another language!
Going into the tags linked to Learning 2.0 under videos gave just eight videos from different nationalities. Under blogs there were 109 with the tag "learning 2.0", lots of like minded librarians doing 23 things.
It gave me the option to change the level of authority and the language of the blog posts I got. It must be a huge job moderating what gets posted. Gives access to related tags and the most recent post I found was posted 18 minutes ago.
