Improving Education with free Web 2.0 tools

Yes, the web has really changed how education can be done. We have google, we have wikipedia... accessing knowledge has never been easier. I work since last year as a trainer, my passion is letting young college students be educated in a whole new way.(I am from China, I love my college time, but hate all the courses I was given) So I write blogs to let them understand the importance of freedom in their life and learning, I do screencasts to teach them some practical programming skills so that they won't go hungry fighting for their dreams.

I am very exiting doing all these. I do not need to repeat same thing again and agin. Teaching is now done cheaply and efficiently as never happened before.

And also we have all kinds of collaboration tools(Basecamp, github, all kinds of forums...) to make working together a more efficient process, I think similar things can be done in education. The experience I learned as a opensource programer shows me awesome possibilities, I actually learnt Ruby on Rails, in order to build new game rules to organize the students together and get them fully interested and motivated to learn. I have not done much, but I will work on.
