University 2.0 and Boston Colleges John Gallaugher

As a Computer Science undergrad at Professor John Gallaugher taught me how to think about the Internet and web strategically. His Week in Geek website. It's the place he puts the syllabi for students and posts interesting Information System readings. I think many of you will really enjoy the Week in Geek. Recently, he added a new feature, start-up. He was just catching up on Web 2.0 but had some valuable pointers. WiG would indicate that he is now very much up to speed. What is turning out to be an incredibly long project due to tremendous time and resource constraints, is working with him and some of his students to transform WiG to a blog. Professor Gallaugher is both blessed and cursed with technical abilities. He currently codes WiG in HTML by hand. It is a blessing because many professors lack the ability to get stuff up on the web. It is a curse because he does it so much that it becomes a bottleneck and inefficient time waster. Writing this entry, however, gives me new inspiration to try to put life back into this effort. University 2.0 or perhaps Education 2.0 is the ultimate way that we can ensure learning really never stops. I'd love to read the blogs or listen to the podcasts of some of the professors and teachers I had throughout high school and college (ok, I don't want to read anything about Advanced Calculus or Abstract Mathematics). Professor Gallaugher is a pioneer for University 2.0, like my fellow Corante Network colleagues Bud Gibson are. MLearning. In the famous words of John Gallaugher, that gives me Geek Goosebumps (on a lighter and unrelated note, you'll definitely want to check out empower and educate people about Web 2.0 and its uses outside tech circles.
