You've heard the grumblings. Web 2.0 is declining, it's so last year....no wait, maybe Web 2.0 is just dead. But is it really? Or has it just become so ubiquitous that it no longer needs a special label anymore? Former Forrester analyst and Groundswell author Charlene Li predicted that social networking would become "like air" - that is, social networks would be everywhere. And now they are. So are blogs, wikis, video-sharing sites, and everything else that comprises "Web 2.0." But does that mean the era of Web 2.0 is over because it finally hit the mainstream? - from 4/21 post on the ReadWriteWeb blog

Through the Eyes of a Survivor

Updated copies of documents and links for presentation on collaborative unit covering the concept of survivorship through technology and art:

Audacity Handout
Holocaust Survivor Wiki/Podcast Lesson Plan
Holocaust Survivor Podcast/Wiki Handout
Degenerate Art Lesson Plan
Art Comparison Student Handout
"Stained Glass" Window Directions for Students
Survivor Today Podcast Assignment
Survivor Now Podcast/Wiki Instructions
WikiSpaces Directions (although the student samples below were created using PBWiki, we have switched to WikiSpaces for student projects because we feel it is a bit easier to use and a lot easier to control from the teacher perspective of being able to lock out pages, giving each student a username and password in advance, etc.)

The following links are to the projects students created - podcasts and wikis:

Students listened to their original stories of survival at - http://holocaust.umd.umich.edu/interviews
