How Web 2.0 is changing medicine

How Web 2.0 is changing medicine
Medical librarians suggest that rather than intrinsic benefits of the platform itself, it's the spirit of open sharing and collaboration that is paramount.2 The more we use, share, and exchange information on the web in a continual loop of analysis and refinement, the more open and creative the platform becomes; hence, the more useful it is in our work.

Riding the Waves of Web 2.0
?eb 2.0?has become a catch-all buzzword that people use to describe a wide range of online activities and applications, some of which the Pew Internet & American Life Project has been tracking for years. As researchers, we instinctively reach for our spreadsheets to see if there is evidence to inform the hype about any online trend.
This article provides a short history of the phrase, along with new traffic data from Hitwise to help frame the discussion.

Web 2.0 Tools for Education (Workshop/Presentation)
http://whiplash.pbwiki.com/
Web 2.0 Tools for Education : Presentations
This will be a lightening fast introduction to a selection of powerful online tools that teachers and students can use in and out of the classroom.
I will discuss some powerful uses of one tool in 10 minutes. When the alarm goes off I'll stop and move on to the next tool.
When we're all done you'll probably have Whiplash! You'll have the next hour to recover with some self-directed and guided exploration into the tool(s) that most interests you.
The audio from this workshop will be recorded and uploaded to this wiki as a series of 10 minute podcasts -- one for each tool we discussed. Look at the bottom of each page for links to the audio.

E-Learning 2.0 - Why the New Tools
http://www.downes.ca/cgi-bin/page.cgi?post=35107
Stephen Downes: E-Learning 2.0 - Why the New Tools,
PowerPoint slides and MP3 Audio of my online presentation July 2006.
My talk, scheduled for one hour, went (with a willing audience) closer to two hours, which was nice, because I was able to develop the topic the way I wanted.
After sketching the progression of Web 2.0 tools (from personal publishing to webtops) I outlined (drawing heavily on Konrad Glogowski) how it enables new forms of learning.
From this, I outlined some of the theory underlying these new forms, and from this theoretical stance, responded in part to the critics of these new models.

This list very neatly puts together a selections of Web 2.0 websites that would provide all the functionaility you would need for running an office or business (or school?)
So that all is needed is a network computer connected to the internet.
Click on My Office 2.0 Setup
In its original incarnation circa 1996, the concept for a Network Computer (NC) did not really make sense. It offered a fraction of the functionality provided by a regular Personal Computer (PC), at a similar purchase price. But most importantly, nobody really cared. The web was just starting and the promoters of this new platform (Oracle and Sun Microsystems) found it difficult to make a case for it beyond their common distaste for anything Microsoft.
