Educational Web 2.0?

Some posts on the web these times about Education 2.0, Classroom 2.0 and so one...
As a lecturer in MBA's, some feelings on all that stuff:
- first of all, a nice report , with comments, rather optimistic, showing new trends
- then less positive views and comments
- some good lists of new exciting tools for education..

I tried, as a lot of professors in Europe, to use and spread those techniques, from informal networks with ning for classrooms to some moodle or dokeos courses.

- Informal networks are more used by students for fun and self image promotion than to create efficient student and alumni networks (and why not!)

- Education system in Europe favours too often traditional teaching, where professor "pushes" its information to the students instead of modern way where students
- work first by themselves on books, dvd's, online material,
- then work together, in a cooperative mode, on relevant projects ("learning by doing"),
- and only then meet professor than teach "by difference", filling the gaps and transmitting additional relevant knowledge...

My deep feeling is that globalization of education (all those new courses in China, in Africa, in central and eastern Europe, ...) is changing the game, with more need, for economic reasons, of modern Web 2.0 techniques.
But key inhibitor remains professor's culture, habits and traditions....
