  17. Implications of Web 2.0 for Youth Allow for engagement with real world right now “ I think we should be allowed to use cell phones and IPODS in school. If it is going to be shoved in our faces left and right, how could you ignore it? By integrating websites such as this one into our education, we are not only saving trees, but benefiting from one anothers ideas. This website allows kids who are shy or quiet or even mute to share their opinions. But that's just my opinion... “ - A Student Speakshttp://chalkdust101.blogspot.com/ - October 5, 2007

  18. Challenges of Web 2.0 • Tools/website services often blocked by filters • Keeping youth safe online • Lifecycle of content

  19. Implications for the Future Do these new resources affect our work? How do these resources affect our students? What do we need to do as career development professionals to address the concept of Web 2.0? * This is my avatar created at Yahoo.com.

  20. Students Must Be… “ Learners, Creators and Communicators to meet the demands of the next century- Learners in the sense that they must view education as a lifelong process and develop a passion for continuous learning; Creators who not only have the measure of discipline found in our current workforce but display independent and innovative thinking; and Communicators who are effective team players, able to articulate their ideas confidently.” (Ministry of Education, 1998) Singapore
