Using 'Web 2.0' Tools?
There are lots of useful 'Web 2.0' tools around and many of them can be used for learning and teaching. However, before doing so there are a number of issues you need to be aware of. LIS have produced a series of questions that you need to ask before using external 'Web 2.0' tools, such as Blogger, Twitter and Facebook; particularly if you plan to use them in learning and teaching.

It's all very sensible ... but all very big brother too!
education is a serious business and students are entitled to expect reaonable standards particularly where we are directing them to use external resources as part of their learning experience. I see a big difference between controlling what people use ("big brother") and applying standards guidelines
