The paper presents a research carried out during the National Project Cl@ssi 2.0 in Piedmont (Italy). It focuses on how Italian teachers, traditionally considered as performing a core function in the social system, in its preservation and innovation, are facing and contributing to the Web 2.0 cultural landscape and which role they have acquired in this, still confused and magmatic, setting. Using the pervasive vocabulary of social media applications metaphorically, we wondered: are teachers starting to be “followed by”, or are they “following” the web 2.0 culture?

Abstract

The paper presents a research carried out during the National Project Cl@ssi 2.0 in Piedmont (Italy). It focuses on how Italian teachers, traditionally considered as performing a core function in the social system, in its preservation and innovation, are facing and contributing to the Web 2.0 cultural landscape and which role they have acquired in this, still confused and magmatic, setting. Using the pervasive vocabulary of social media applications metaphorically, we wondered: are teachers starting to be “followed by”, or are they “following” the web 2.0 culture?
