Abstract
For any conversation about the future of education research, it is necessary at some point to address the roles of computer-based information technology. Knowledge production, research reporting, access to information, and pedagogical design in education are now all mediated by various sorts of computer technologies. From a standpoint of critical curriculum theory, I am interested in examining the ways in which Web 2.0 technologies present possibilities for education research that are different from other forms of information technology, and how those differences may be relevant in terms of epistemology, pedagogy, communication, and power relations in education.
