Forums“An Internet forum, or message board, is an online discussion site.

It is the modern equivalent of a traditional bulletin board, and a technological evolution of the dialup bulletin board system. People participating in an Internet forum may cultivate social bonds and interest groups for a topic may form from the discussions.”

WikisA wiki is a website that uses wiki software, allowing the easy

creation and editing of any number of interlinked Web pages/documents with easy search capability. In other words a place where people can store many documents that all of them are editing together to created a body of information. (e.g.wikipedia)

Web 2.0 Technologies supplements but does not replace direct human touch

Web 2.0 is intrusive and so forces transparency People will find out the truth Why afraid of intrusive things?

Everything is “live,” but archived so be wise about what say and reveal

Rules of the Road

No more gatekeepers Direct access is the norm

Implications on our relationships with students

Implications for making relationships on campus

Discipline vs. Nuisance Like anything, Weekly

gathering, visiting campus, prayer letters – takes discipline

Learning curve steep but getting gentler

Rules of the Road

More people around the world on the internet doing more things
