Web 2.0 Tipping Point For Education

Playing around with Photoshop tonight using an idea from a book I’m reading at odd moments during the holiday break, Malcolm Gladwell’s “The Tipping Point.” Is the tipping point for widespread recognition of web2 technologies in education far off or are we lacking the necessary epidemic conditions?

    […] This is exactly the question that I am wrestling with - as Graham visualizes in this post, we are at the “tipping point for education” and I’m not quite sure how to pull/cajole/invite/motivate my colleagues over to my side of see-saw.
