ABSTRACT
Steve Hargadon, creator of Classroom 2.0 and the host of The Future of Education podcast series, illustrates the effect of our 21st-century life, peppered with Web 2.0 and social media tools, as a massive wave.1 If you take a moment to imagine the image of a large wave in your mind, the way you naturally construct your vantage point may communicate how you feel about emerging technologies, as well as your level of current participation. Do you picture that wave about to hit shore and destroy everything in its path? Are you cautiously watching it from a protected balcony? Or are you riding it, shrieking with excitement as its energy throws you off balance?
