Eckstein, M. (2009). Enrichment 2.0 fifted and talented education for the 21st century. Gifted Child Today, 32(1), 59-63. Retrieved from ERIC database.
In her article for Gifted Child Today, Eckstein () discusses the use of enrichment clusters. Such clusters are “organized around major disciplines, interdisciplinary themes, or cross-disciplinary topics.” They arrange students according to interests, and they are focused on the production of real-world products or services. Because Web 2.0 has changed the internet from a read-only medium to a medium in which anyone can publish and share information, education must work with this new technology to more effectively reach students. Out of this came Enrichment 2.0 which is based on the cluster model. Enrichment 2.0 “is an inquiry-based learning model where students select a topic, and prepare an authentic product or service.” Tools of Enrichment 2.0 include wikis, social bookmarking, RSS feeds, blogs, and podcasts.
