Step 1: Edit this page

Click the Edit tab, add a sentence or two about Web 2.0, and then save this page.  It is easy!

 

The term Web 2.0 is associated with web applications that facilitate participatory information sharing, interoperability, user-centered design,[1] and collaboration on the World Wide Web. These new applications have shifted the paradigm from Web 1.0 tools and are helping preparing students for the 21st century job market.  Web 2.0 technologies allow teachers to help their students to build their visual literacy skills as well as, share, contribute, collaborate, create, and communicate with peers whether known or unknown, in their town or from across the globe. Web 2.0 technologies includes, but is not limited to blogs, wikis, podcasts, RSS, and other cool tools. One of the most impressive yet controversial wikis is www.wikipedia.org, whose tagline is "The free encyclopedia that anyone can edit." So, how can we trust wikpedia if anyone can edit it?  Simple.  According to a test done by Alex Halavais, he created thirteen errors and within a couple of hours the problems were fixed.  This helps to prove that there are many more people wanting the information to be correct than those who want to make it wrong. Here's a link to a nifty tool to use: http://www.bubbleply.com/default.htm.  By using Web 2.0 tools in education, teachers can create a student-centered environment for learning since the tools are user driven. Student learning using Web 2.0 can occur in a classroom, library, home, coffeeshop, or anywhere where students have internet access.  Web 2.0 has come a long way to provide the ability to not only share, but collaborate online!
