In support of using Web 2.0 tools for writing in education, Dave Weinberger said in his JOHO (www.hyperorg.com/blogger/) blog

//“If knowledge emerges from conversations, then just about all our educational focus ought to be on learning how to be good conversationalists: how to listen, how to kindle a conversation, how to evaluate claims, how to speak in a voice worth hearing…and, most of all, how to share a world in which knowledge is plural, for that’s what conversation and knowledge is about.”//

Write a response to his statement and establish a clear position in support or against his view for using wikis and blogs in education. Support your position with prior knowledge and relevant evidence by referencing other posts or articles.
