本來想看些文章寫點東西，結果不知不覺的就逛著逛著，看著大學時班上大家所寫的文章，還覺得滿好笑的，大家都滿無俚頭的，不知不覺就過了一個小時。
那下午呢？不知道耶！好無聊，看這篇文章的你，正在想什麼呢？
我也不知道我在想什麼？但我知道我的文章像背後靈般的跟著我，跟著我睡覺，跟著我吃飯，跟著我上課，跟著我開車，跟著我發呆，跟著我寫文章，跟著我焦慮，跟著我看書，跟著我走路，跟著我...
嗯...我在我的空間裡，思考著如何跨越障礙向目標前進，思考著如何引經據典，思考著能有創新作為，思考著為什麼我喝不出金萱有牛奶味，思考著我知道烘培時可加入香味的作法，思考著...
我的思考，意識著我的存在。
Je pense, donc je suis

教授為什麼沒告訴我？
最近因為某個原因某個人，讓我想起幾年前買的這本書，應該是2005年買的，
當時我看這本書時，覺得比一般傳統的研究方法論的書還要來得淺顯易懂，
而且作者也詼諧的筆觸來描寫枯燥方法論，讓處於水深火熱的研究生感到比較不悶，
有機會的話，借你看看，應該會有很深體會。(說不定你還認識作者咧！)

blog service provider
目前網路上有許多不同的部落格服務提供商(blog service provider)，提供使用者申請帳號建立個人部落格、相簿等等，
無名小站是以網路相本起家，奇摩是以入口網站起家，最後無名小站被奇摩併購，而奇摩又差點被微軟買走，後來破局，當初如果賣掉，也許對奇摩還是個轉機，現在....，離題了
在台灣，無名小站、痞客幫、奇摩、PCHOME、天空、樂多、Xuite、蕃薯藤yam、網路城邦等在國外，Google Blogger、LiveJournal、MSN Live、Typepad.....
無名小站在台灣算是很高知名度，而其服務功能從早期的網路相簿，到現在提供更多社群功能的連結，算是不錯的一個在地部落格提供者，但瀏覽速度似乎有點慢。其他許多台灣在地部落格後起之秀也有不少擁護者
而在國外Google Blogger也算滿多人使用的，但他偏向許多自我編輯的語法，雖然有更大的彈性與自由，但相對的需要一些基本的語法能力，當然網路上也提供許多簡易套用語法的教學。
不知道有沒有什麼樣的調查，可以歸納出不同的部落格服務提供商所偏向的社群特性，也許有但是我沒找到，但我這樣猜測，無名小站從相簿起家，早期就是以正妹照片吸引大家瀏覽，所以使用族群大概以青少年為主，而且內建功能也滿豐富不需要太多的基本語法知識。

Web 2.0教學應用初探-賴和隆
Web 2.0教學應用初探
賴和隆
前言 台北市立中正高級中學 賴和隆
自20世紀人類結束冷戰以來，知識的多元發展與累積爆炸，使得身處知識傳遞的第一線教師其教學挑戰與日俱增;另一方面，從1992年網際高速公路快速發展，加上資訊技術的進步，直到 2006年12月25日 ，時代雜誌以一部電腦螢幕上面寫著斗大的『 You.』作為年度風雲人物，明白標示著全球互聯網發展進入Web 2.0時代，數位內容散佈愈來愈方便且滲透日廣。
以上兩個方向的發展，看似各自前進沒有交集，然而，就筆者的經驗與觀察： Web2.0服務的良善運用，正足以解決教學現場所面臨的諸多問題，至少可以減緩其不良現象的增長，使得教學與學習活動可以朝更積極有效的方向前進。
底下就筆者的思考，試論兩者的關係，並提出一些教學應用的實務經驗與解決方案，最後，並探討在現存 Web2.0環境中，教學應用尚有哪些待努力之處，期能與大家分享教學經驗並收拋磚引玉之效。
什麼是 Web2.0?
關於「 Web 2.0 」這個名詞，最先是由 O'Reilly Media 創辦人暨執行長奧萊禮（ Tim O'Reilly ）在 2004 年提出， Web 2.0 標幟著自 2001 年網路泡沫化後，產業版圖中逐漸浮現的網站新模式。所謂的 Web 2.0 並不是一個新的技術或是新的軟硬體服務，所陳述的是一個觀念，一個個人化的網路觀念。簡單來說， Web 2.0 就是新一代的網路服務，是雙向互動，其重要精神在於使用者的參與。

Universal World House
New Design Could Revolutionize World Slums
But if a newly designed pre-fabricated house developed in conjunction with the Bauhaus University in the eastern German city of Weimar catches on, the world's shantytowns could get a new look. The buildings are cheap, sturdy -- and made out of paper.
A new invention could soon change the face of shantytowns across the globe. Called "Universal World House," the structures are light, cheap -- and made of paper.
Slums, sadly, look largely the same the world over -- rickety metal roofed huts thrown together on the edges of vast metropolises to provide some rudimentary shelter for the destitute who live there.
A model of the new paper house was set up in Kiel in December.
"From the very beginning, our goal was to create practical, environmentally sustainable, and, most importantly, cheap living quarters for the slums of the Earth," Gerd Niemöller, who developed the cellulose material the houses are made of, said in a recent statement. "Now, that is possible."
Niemöller is a co-founder of the Swiss company The Wall AG, which holds the patent for material used in the construction of the mini-homes. But, he says, he envisions the houses -- called the "Universal World House" -- ultimately being produced in the countries where they are needed. And, he says, the sticker price for the 36 square meter (387.5 square foot) structures won't be more than $5,000 each.
The material used in the construction of the houses mimics the honeycomb pattern used in the manufacture of airplanes and other products for which both weight and strength are important factors. But instead of using aluminium or other alloys, Niemöller used resin-soaked paper processed to form thin, light -- yet strong -- panels. The material is also an excellent insulator, and is flexible, making it appropriate in areas at risk of earthquakes.
According to Niemöller's business model, his company would deliver the machines to manufacture the panels along with the raw materials. Everything else would be taken care of by locals.

Learning a language the Web 2.0 way
Learning a language the Web 2.0 way
by Guest Author on August 25, 2008
TechCrunch UK recently ignited a debate around education startups in the UK, but it’s quite clear that the biggest Web 2.0 education market is language learning - and that market, obviously, scales internationally. Here, Nicola Robinsonova of Learnitlists.com pens a guest post about the myriad services out there and which ones cut the mustard.
‘Unless there is a law of physics forbidding a technology, then it’s not only possible, it is sure to be built’ (Michio Kaku) – and where the $20 billion second language acquisition market is concerned, this is certanly true. The essential nature of Web 2.0 (in one definition, the active use of technologies such as social networking, WIKIs, blogs and crowd filtration to create web-based communities who collaborate, create and share content) offers great opportunities for language learners.
In an ideal world we would all speak the same language, or, at the very least, be able to download a new language on demand, perhaps directly into our brains via telepathy (advertising suggest that this already happens - ’speak a new language in 10 minutes’ for example), but, since God smote the Tower of Babbel, and sent us off wandering the earth in distinct linguistic groups, learning a new language has involved some applied effort.
If you are a native English speaker looking to acquire a new language there’s a bounty of resources out there. That you don’t already speak a second language would indicate that the Web 1.0 and pre web techniques available didn’t work so well for you. So… you don’t have time for nightschool, you don’t have the inclination to study from a CD. What is out there in the Web 2.0 world to help you out?
Given that there are 5,000 active languages in the world, the most important factor in determining how useful any specific web 2.0 language service will be to you is simply, do they have your language? There are masses of tools for Spanish, Chinese, French & German… however there isn’t so much around if your were learning Czech, for example. From a business perspective, English is the number one language in the Second Language Acquisition industry - with 750 million learners according to the British Council.
