Abstract
This article presents a study focusing on the learning strategies of middle school students who are frequent users of Web 2.0 technologies. The study was structured around three basic questions. Do Web 2.0 and social networking technologies (a) help motivate students to study, (b) support them in planning and self-regulating their own learning processes, and (c) encourage them to adopt effective learning strategies? The study highlights some opportunities that Web 2.0 offers for promoting the uptake of effective learning strategies, provided that educators’ planning and teaching approaches are founded on problemsolving and action-research methods.
