Henry Jenkins, recently posted Critical Information Studies for Participatory Culture and revisited the web 2.0 phenomenon that was coined by Tim O’Reilly in 2004. In the post Jenkins’ argues that O’Reilly’s concept has been watered down and not nearly as critically analyzed as it could be. Jenkins’ proposed participatory culture in 2006 trying to get at this question:
How can educators best understand the impact that Internet technologies are having on today’s youth and use that understanding to inform their teaching practices?
Only 3 years have passed and Internet technologies are still proliferating. Jenkin’s post highlights current research to identify some of the ways his ideals of participatory culture could be infused into web 2.0 thinking for education.

The developer of TPACK, Punya MIshra, posted to his blog on her project in which she explored students’ development of technological, pedagogical content knowledge in her Math 241 class. Read Punya’s post.
As Janet discovered, the TPACK model “attempts to capture some of the essential qualities of knowledge required by teachers for technology integration in their teaching, while addressing the complex, multifaceted and situated nature of teacher knowledge. At the heart of the TPACK framework, is the complex interplay of three primary forms of knowledge: Content (CK), Pedagogy (PK), and Technology (TK).”
