Do you hear the buzz? The new vocabulary of ed-tech talk bursts with keywords like blog, podcast, wikis, webinar and the ultimate umbrella term: Web 2.0. Web 2.0 describes a second generation of websites where the tech literate can read, write, publish and respond to information. Blogs, wikis, podcasts and webinars are the publication tools that make it all happen. Web 2.0, dubbed the Read/Write web by visionary educators and thinkers gives everyone with access to the Internet a truly international voice. (By last count a billion people are online.)
Yesterday we could use search engines, subject indexes and the deep web to locate, evaluate, and use digital information. Today we can do all that while juggling a remarkably diverse set of new user friendly web based applications to create and publish a custom tailored world of digital information.
