How learners are using and rating classroom 2.0

As well as surveying (via paper-based questionnaires, show of hands and the web) and polling (via mobile phone) increasingly large numbers of UK learners, we are trialling a number of web 2.0 sites and services in classroom sessions within Secondary and FE institutions. Our initial responses to most of the tools and activities we are trialling has been very positive, particularly on collaborative documents and interactive sites and services. It is more positive still when it comes to using mobile phones which not surprisingly, get a universal thumbs up.
