Quick Poll…What trends do you think will have the biggest impact?

My last entry was about a recent study on educational trends to watch. ESchool News surveyed its readers about which trends they thought we most important and the results were:

LAST WEEK’S POLL RESULTS …

What is the “ed-tech trend to watch”?

38 percent said “User-created content”
12 percent said “Mobile phones”
24 percent said “Virtual worlds”
6 percent said “New scholarship and emerging forms of publication”
20 percent said “Massively multiplayer educational gaming”

The results got me thinking, which 2.0 trends do you think will most effect libraries in the next 1-5 years? Let me know by commenting here!

    I couldn’t find any other way to contact you, but I wanted to ask for your help and input - I’m building a wiki to support programs like this one that librarians everywhere can use, cut and paste, and mash up however they need to for their individual libraries. Any input from you about how your program is doing, what challenges you’ve faced, and what kinds of things work best would be greatly appreciated! My name should link you to the wiki.
