undertaking on many different levels.

(Viral Marketing in Action)
This video was created by an
professor and 200 students
enrolled in ANTH 200:
Introduction to Cultural
Anthropology at Kansas
State University, Spring
2007. It began as a
brainstorming exercise,
thinking about how students
learn, what they need to
learn for their future, and how
our current educational
system fits in.

Implications of Web 2.0 for Youth
Allow for engagement with real world right now
“ I think we should be allowed to use cell phones and IPODS in
school. If it is going to be shoved in our faces left and right,
how could you ignore it? By integrating websites such as this
one into our education, we are not only saving trees, but
benefiting from one anothers ideas. This website allows kids
who are shy or quiet or even mute to share their opinions. But
that's just my opinion... “

Challenges of Web 2.0
• Tools/website services often
blocked by filters
• Keeping youth safe online
• Lifecycle of content
Implications for the Future
Do these new resources affect our work?
How do these resources affect our students?
What do we need to do as career development
professionals to address the concept of Web 2.0?

Students Must Be…
“ Learners, Creators and Communicators to meet
the demands of the next century- Learners in the
sense that they must view education as a lifelong
process and develop a passion for continuous
learning; Creators who not only have the measure
of discipline found in our current workforce but
display independent and innovative thinking; and
Communicators who are effective team players,
able to articulate their ideas confidently.”
(Ministry of Education, 1998)
