after thoughts on Web 2.0

The other day one of my schools presented The Stations of The Cross in church.  It was 2nd and 3rd grade's turn to present and they did a beautiful job.  For those of you who are unfamiliar with exactly what that is; it's walking through the 13 "stations" from Jesus being condemned to death up to His crucifixion.  Each station is related to something in our own lives.  An example would be when Jesus, carrying the cross, falls for the first time and gets back up. It is related to a time when we've been down at some point in our lives and gotten back up, perhaps with someone's help and with much struggling, but we got back up just the same.  As I said, the children did a beautiful job and they used an old overhead projector to show hand drawn pictures that they themselves had made depicting each station as each took turns stepping up to the pulpit and narrating the station.  What does this have to do with Web 2.0??? Well, on one of the sites that I found, Little Bird Tales, there were similar projects but they were all done with the computer and the children literally created a digital storybook drawn and narrated by them but done in a power point type of presentation.  There was no bulky projector and no need to manually move papers on and off the projector for each station.  Had I found "Little Bird Tales" earlier on in the year I could have shared it with those teachers and maybe they would have chosen to use it for their presentation.  On the other hand, I guess that sometimes old fashion simplicity is a choice.  Still, I plan to share it with them and I think it will come in handy at some point, if not for Stations of The Cross then for something else.  The possibilities are endless.
