What is an elevator
speech?
An elevator speech is an overview of an
idea for a product, service, or project.

The name reflects the fact that an
elevator pitch can be delivered in the
time span of an elevator ride.
Components of an
Elevator Speech

* What the product, service, or project is.

 * What it does for the buyer, investor, or
sponsor (e.g. the benefits).

 * Who you are and why you will be
successful.

What is Web 2.0?

 "The Web will be understood not as
 screenfuls of text and graphics but
 as a transport mechanism, the ether
 through which interactivity
 happens.” -DiNucci

Why should we care?
"To be literate today involves acquiring
new skills, including those of using
technology, understanding science,
having global awareness, and most
important, having the ability to keep
learning.” - Solomon, G. & Schrum, L.

Why should we care?
Because today's students:

- Are no longer the people our educational
system was designed to teach

- Have not just changed incrementally
from those of the past . . . our students
have changed radically.
Why should we care?
Because today's students:
- Represent the first generations to grow
up with this new technology

- Think and process information
fundamentally differently from their
predecessors
Why should we care?
Because today's students:
 - Are all "native speakers" of the digital
language of computers, video games and
the Internet - Prensky, M.

Should students “power down”
when they come to school?
"For the most part, students' educational use
of the Web occurs occurs outside of the
school day. Many schools and teachers
have not yet recognized - much less
responded to - the new ways students
communicate and access information over
the Internet.” - Levin & Arafeh (Pew Internet &
American Life Project)
