Web 2.0 Educator

I took a look at Wesley Fryer's Blog and listened to a couple of his podcasts and he is a great motivational speaker and he has very well developed insights on education. It seem pretty clear from listening to his podcasts that Wes is an educator. He teaches and talks to others about a new age of learning. He describes that students respond more effectively when they instant feedback, like say a student is writing a poem and he or she writes and records it. When she listens to the recording she will know instantly if he or she would want to edit anything. Also he feels that sometimes when having a student do a project with the audience being the teacher, the student may not perform as well but put a little technology into the mix say instead of the audience be the teacher make the audience the world wide web, then you'll get a more positive outcome from students.
