We just got my son a new/used car today–a VW Beetle.  While we were waiting to pick up the car, a sign in the dealership caught my eye.

“On the road of life, there are passengers and there are drivers.  Drivers wanted.”

It struck me that this is a perfect analogy for web 2.0 tools.   They allow each of us to be drivers, not just passengers;  active participants, not just observers.

Don’t we want all of our students to be drivers instead of passengers?
