This investigation aimed to determine the use of web 2.0 services in the Catholic University Cecilio Acosta (UNICA) site by the institution, located in Maracaibo city, Venezuela. The theoretical contributions were supported by O'Reilly (2007), Lévy (2004), Rheingold (2004), Surowiecki (2005), Cobo (2007a), among other authors. The investigation comes from a project attached to the UNICA Research and Postgraduate Deanery, was descriptive, an observation guide was applied to collect information from the UNICA website and the 2.0 services to which it is associated as the platforms for vertical social networks YouTube, Instagram and SoundCloud, and platforms for horizontal social networks Facebook and Twitter. Among the most relevant findings was the exclusive use of social networking services for interaction with the university community, without including other services that seek to generate knowledge. It is concluded that UNICA uses web 2.0 services in its site in a limited and non-strategic way, with a purely informative nature that includes specific topics of the university and the catholic church, which could hinder the knowledge management as process of 21st century universities.

Health And Well Being

AbstractAmidst the NHS’s (National Health Service) success lies its major weakness, although one that Klein overlooks in his reflections on the NHS as it approaches 70. The focus on, and investment in, curing ill-health has been at the expense of attending to the public’s overall health and well-being. This preoccupation poses a greater threat to the NHS’s future than privatisation. Despite the weakness having been diagnosed decades ago, redressing the imbalance has proved stubbornly hard to achieve. Rhetoric has not been translated into reality. Yet, we may be on the cusp of a tipping point where in order to ensure a sustainable NHS, and one that is capable of meeting the 21st century challenges facing it, there is a renewed and overdue interest in promoting health and well-being in communities. But for this to succeed, the NHS will need to embrace its bete noire, local government.

Changing Role

E-learning application within distance contexts is growing rapidly as a solution to the demands and needs of CTE learners in the 21st century. Effective and sustainable application begins with understanding the connective relationship e-learning enjoys with distance education. In conjunction with this link, pedagogical theory and practices successfully utilized within distance education are of relevance to CTE educators and practitioners if successful application is to be attained. This chapter delves into the prominent theories and practices of distance education centered on a learner-centered approach. Also discussed is the changing role of the instructor and learner within this pedagogical approach. Although challenges and barriers emerge with change strategies, CTE has distinct advantages for successful transition and application. Central to the learner-centered approach is the characteristics and capabilities of Web 1.0 and Web 2.0 technologies which continue to regulate and necessitate consideration of the learner-centered approach within distance contexts.

<p>O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar uma reflexão sobre a forma como as tecnologias digitais contribuem para o desenvolvimento das competências para o aluno do século XXI, relacionando-as com a produção de conhecimento na escola, por meio da implementação de uma prática pedagógica, na modalidade de aula invertida. Partindo do pressuposto que os alunos estão enquadrados no conceito de "nativo digital", reflete-se sobre as competências, nos vários domínios, que se espera que o aluno atinja, detenha e alcance, na sala de aula, com recurso a tecnologias digitais e a ferramentas da Web 2.0. Para cumprir esse objetivo e o desafio educativo de uma escola em mudança, serão apresentadas 3 ferramentas aplicadas em sala de aula: uma plataforma educativa de partilha de conteúdo (Edmodo), um jogo (kahoot) e uma plataforma de avaliação de conhecimentos (Socrative).</p><p> </p><p><strong>ABSTRACT</strong></p><p>The purpose of this article is to produce a reflection on how digital technologies contribute to the development of skills of the 21st century student, linking them to knowledge production in school, through the implementation of a pedagogical practice in the classroom known as flipped classroom. Assuming that students are "digital natives", this article focus on the skills in various areas that students are expected to accomplish and hold as well as how to achieve them in a classroom, using digital technologies and Web 2.0 tools. To achieve this goal and the educational challenge of an ever changing school, three tools were applied in the classroom: an educational platform for sharing content (Edmodo), a game (Kahoot) and a knowledge evaluation platform (Socrative).</p><p><strong>Keywords:</strong> 21st century skills; Flipped classroom; Digital technologies; Web 2.0.</p>
