Social software and the free and open content

I really hope that in the late 2000 social software and free and open content will make a real breakthrough in the field of educational technology.

The pedagogical thinking behind the social software and the free and open content can be located to the social constructivist theory and cultural-historical psychology. “Any true understanding is dialogic in nature” wrote Mikhail Bakhtin and Lev Vygotsky wrote that “all higher [mental] functions originate as actual relations between human individuals”.
Learning with computers is not about programming or drill and practice, nor about multimedia, nor about fast updating or cost-efficiency- Don't you think is it all about people sharing ideas?
