Web 2.0 Makes Students MAKERS, not just MEMORIZERS

I ran across this article today from a community of teachers who share Web 2.0 resources through Tweets.  The group uses the hash tag #EdTechChat.  One of their tweets, which became their most popular retweet stated "Web 2.0 makes students MAKERS, not just MEMORIZERS."  I thought this was a pretty awesome way to sum up the differences Web 2.0 can make when incorporated into the classroom.

I like it! I had a colleague that used to say that students were trained by teachers to "Sit down, shut up, I'll tell you what you need to know." Now we try to teach "Stand up, speak up, and explain what you know."
