Web & Tech Trends Impacting Education

The Philadelphia Inquirer in tech.life@school | The top 10 technology trends affecting education in 2005 reports on 10 significant trends in IT/Web that are likely to enrich education. From my perspective most of the top 10 items show a trend away from passive use of the web toward intenstive user participation and interaction through a variety of methods.

This set of trends is probably not confined to Education. Interactive websites are going to dominate in all areas. This is particularly true in the news arena where blogs, portals, news aggregators and other informal distribution methods are taking an increasing share of readership.

There is a wonderful article at Global Surf News "Print/TV news media loose out on web, need to adapt" It makes the point that in younger age groups more people look at news online than read newspapers extensively.
