Welcome to the Kaizen Network’s Web 2.0 Research Group
We have created this blog to act as a space for our discussions and thoughts about Web2.0 applications that we might be able to use in school. Everyone blogging here has an interest in the very latest new technologies that can be used in schools to support learning. On these pages we will introduce other people to technologies that we think are interesting, offer advice as to how they might be used in our lessons and post examples of work that we have done using them. We think better when we think together, so we will be commenting on other people’s posts and starting conversations between our schools.

We call it the leadership of (lighting fires).
As leaders we want to inspire our staff to use web 2.0 to inspire learning and improve outcomes. Our example is the way apple develop apps for the ipod.Using the talents of others , sharing information and seeing the benefits
