Web 2.0
All of us are smarter than any
one of us.
It’s not the technology;
It’s the IMPACT.
Adapt or Die! becomes the mantra
of the day for consultants,
analysts, and reporters. Their
words become the start gun,
signaling the time has come for
millions of dollars to be spent
ripping up legacy systems and
replacing them with the next new
thing.
Not necessarily in
education…
The Internet and Web 2.0 challenge our
concepts of how students learn and how we
should teach .
Web 2.0 technologies are changing media and
challenging schools.
Web 2.0 refers to a supposed
second generation of Internet
based services that emphasize
online collaboration and sharing
among users.
Wisdom of Crowds--what are the
most valuable resources
"Web 2.0 is a widely used
phrase devoid of meaningful
content.”
Businesses vs. home and school
The social web is a term that
can be used to describe a
subset of Web 2.0
technologies that are highly
interactive, conversational
and participatory.
Features of social web applications
Expressing and developing identity (especially
for youth).
Relationships
Trust
User-driven and generated sites and content
--rather than passive consumers, surfers can become
active creators.
Social Media
• the democratization of content
• shifts from a broadcast mechanism to
a many-to-many model
• “wisdom of crowds” to connect
information in a collaborative manner
Imagine a web site where a teacher,
counselor, administrator or student could
create his own web site that includes 50 Mb
of file storage and sharing space, on-line
slide shows, web site bookmarking, blogging,
threaded discussions, and real-time polling.
Now imagine the same site that is free to use
and free of advertising. Lastly, imagine that
all is needed to use this site is a computer
connected to the Internet.

application.
