How do we capture the potential of Web 2?

Hi. Well, the course is half over. One of my personal goals was to become technologically literate. In 3 months!!  One of my hoped for outcomes was to create a successful blog. But that has not happened. One, I have been too busy trying out other sites to concentrate on my personal blogging. Two, I feel like I am writing to myself. Only James Hoeffler seems to be connected to me. I'm not quite sure why and have tried countless different methods to get some connection with either other students, or the TAs, or the outside world. Still working on it. A New Story in progress! Meanwhile I have become a lot more literate in other ways. I have been able to find useful sites on Twitter and even have Tweeted a few times myself. Somehow I have some followers too. I can see that it is a very useful tool and connects me to a world much larger than myself. I have also found some sites to organize my digital data - such as Live Binders, Diigo and Jog the Web. Very helpful to have storage on the Internet and not on my overflowing bookshelves!  Still I need to do more exploration of these sites to be able to use them to my full advantage. The Big Question for me is how other teachers are going to "catch up" in all of this. I have dedicated a lot of my time to it and know that this is the tip of the iceberg. Yet I also know that we can't stop this train from going out the station. The digital world is absolutely astonishing and its potential for the New Story of Education is mind boggling. Any ideas?
