Ubiquitous Complete in a Web 2.0 World
Bull, Glen; Ferster, Bill
Learning & Leading with Technology, v33 n4 p9-11 Dec 2005-Jan 2006
In the third wave of computing, people will interact with multiple computers in multiple ways in every setting. The value of ubiquitous computing is enhanced and reinforced by another trend: the transition to a Web 2.0 world. In a Web 2.0 world, applications and data reside on the Web itself. Schools are not yet approaching a ratio of one computer per student, much less the multiple computers per person envisioned in Weiser's third wave of ubiquitous computing. However, students are increasingly gaining access to computers outside of school. In this article, the author discusses how schools can be enhanced in the era of Web 2.0 ubiquitous computing.
