Those of you who still actually visit this site (as opposed to subscribing via RSS)
may notice a little change in focus on my masthead today. This blog
started three years ago focusing on blogs in the classroom. Then it
expanded to include RSS and wikis. Now, it’s scope has become much more
broad again.

What I’ve come to realize is that for me, at least, this really has
become more a place to think and write and talk about the potential of
the Read/Write Web. Sure, that includes the individual tools. But it’s
the larger shift that the individual tools make possible that is really
the focus of much of my blogging of late. Recently, I’ve been starting every presentation and workshop
with that context, and I think it gives people a better understanding
of what all of this might mean for education. Our relationship with the
Internet, with information, to some degree with each other, is
fundamentally changing, in ways that I think are extremely exciting for
educators. We’re still throwing darts in the dark to a large degree,
but it’s becoming much more clear that as the Read/Write Web changes
other portions of our world (business, politics, etc.) it will no doubt
have a huge impact on education.

So, Weblogg-ed is now about “the Read/Write Web in the classroom.” Not
very newsworthy, I know, but I just wanted to recognize the continuing
evolution of the discussion here. I’m sure it will continue to evolve
as we all continue to read and write and learn.
