Research 1.0 in a Web 2.0 world

I'm excited about tonight's Wow2 show that starts in about 30 minutes (9 pm EST) with Dr. Mary Friend Shepherd - Professor and Program Director for the PhD Educational Technology Program at Walden and Dr. Robert McLaughlin, Chair, ISTE SIG on Digital Equity; Chair, ISTE SIG on Innovative Learning Technologies and
Executive Director, National Institute for Community Innovations. It is going to be a great conversation.

Here are the planned talking points:

1. Wow's - Jennifer, Sharon, Cheryl, Vicki
2. Introduction
3. Research 2.0 Discussion - Talk about any current research that you are aware of that is important for those who are looking at Web 2.0 to understand.
4. The Evolution of the PhD Program -- Why does it need to evolve? If so, how?
5. Meaningful, Connected Research - How can we connect the research of PhD students to that of relevant classroom needs.
6. If you could create your ideal PhD program, what would it be?
7. Time Permitting
   • How can we involve researchers, who typically don't blog, in the conversations in the blogosphere?
   • What is the role of the teacher in research? Researcher in teaching?

It's free - come on over.
