One of the most significant recent developments offered by technology is the opportunity to learn through collaboration. Learners have had ready access to the collected skills and knowledge of the online community for some time now. What has been added are powerful and easy to use ways for all to contribute to this community. The online environment has become more participatory.

We have been writing about technology integration and meaningful learning for some time. This site is intended as an entry point (a portal if you prefer) to our efforts to explore the more specific topic of the participatory web. As we add to this site, we promise you the opportunity share your own insights. What would a site dedicated to the participatory web be without the opportunity to participate?

We do not regard this as the official “Participatory Web” site. .mac (now mobileme) is a liitle slow for our taste. We do keep a few resources here. Visit Learning Aloud.
