      What's useful about this wheel is that it breaks down the concept of Web 2.0 into so many smaller components that make up the whole. On a personal note, I am sometimes overwhelmed with stimuli of this sort.

      The use of different sized font is interesting to me.  It appears to signify importance and assist the reader in choosing the order in which to read definitions.  However, this is entirely subjective.

      I am not a fan of visual represenation because I am an audio learner. However, this interactive visual is interesting. It really makes one consider the application of Web 2.0 features. It also makes me realize they are infinite applications of Web 2.0 and may explain why people stick to the social ones. I find it interesting that a category for education is missing.

  • A Web 2.0 site allows users to interact and collaborate with each other in a social media dialogue as creators (prosumers) of user-generated content in a virtual community, in contrast to websites where users (consumers) are limited to the passive viewing of content that was created for them. Examples of Web 2.0 include social networking sites, blogs, wikis, video sharing sites, hosted services, web applications, mashups and folksonomies.

      I like wikipedia's definition. I think that Web 2.0 does have to do with web apps that facilitate participatory info sharing, interoperability, etc. Social media is also an important part of web 2.0
  • The concept of Web-as-participation-platform captures many of these characteristics. Bart Decrem, a founder and former CEO of Flock, calls Web 2.0 the "participatory Web"[17] and regards the Web-as-information-source as Web 1.0.

      This is a very apporpriate definition. Web 2.0 is simply a new way to use the internet. If we look at the definiton of Web 1.0 it is simply the use of search engines, and email, etc. However, web 2.0 takes these basic tasks to the next level. I like to think of web 2.0 as a function of new media as well.

      I think these definitions relate to reading and writing because we read and write for different purposes. The definition of web 2.0 I selected mirrors the same intent. Web 2.0 tools are platforms for various purposes. I think if we can fin the appropriate web 2.0 school for out reading or writing purpose we can make these practices natural. From all my research on web 2.0 tools a reoccurring purpose was business.
  • The Web as Platform", because I can then fill in the blanks depending on who I'm talking to. For corporate people, the Web is a platform for business. For marketers, the Web is a platform for communications. For journalists, the Web is a platform for new media. For geeks, the Web is a platform for software development. And so on.

Web 2.0 Engl665

shared by sarah spangler on 29 Sep 11 - No Cached
  • Web 2.0 is the term given to describe a second generation of the World Wide Web that is focused on the ability for people to collaborate and share information online. Web 2.0 basically refers to the transition from static HTML Web pages to a more dynamic Web that is more organized and is based on serving Web applications to users.

      The first thought that comes to mind refers to the Pew survey we all took that helps define how we use technology. Apparently, I am a "digital collaborator," and the their definition for this seems to fit me pretty well as a user.  I bring this up because I use the web in a very Web 2.0 kind of way, and I know my students are digital collaborators on steroids.  I am excited that Shelley has been modeling all these different ways of online collaboration that are certainly (obviously...) conducive to a classroom environment.

      From what I've read, that's a big part of the concept of Web 2.0-- user centeredness, and letting users get the most out of the Internet in the easiest way possible. There is so much available, but it's no good if the general public can't benefit from it.

      The simplicity of the definition you highlighted in green seems to be show up in many articles/definitions. I like that we can break down the definition into pieces and then expand the pieces to a more meaningful idea of what Web 2.0 means. I think this ability to expand on simplified ideas is what attracted me to the wheel in one of the definitions I posted.

      I like the term "usability" as it pertains to writing instruction.  Learning to write effectively in one's field is very difficult without the added complication of learning technology as well.  The usability of Web 2.0 may prevent further complication or confusion and in fact, assist with the learning process.

      I like the way that wiki breaks this idea into several different major headings that can be easily evaluated. The one thing that I always take from wiki pages is the references though. I jumped around in several different places on this way. In particular, connecting back to the original O'reilly "What is Web 2.0" piece (http://oreilly.com/web2/archive/what-is-web-20.html).

    This site references O'reilly a lot, as he's apparently the authority on all things Web 2.0. There are many competing definitions for Web 2.0. Some say it's a set of practices and philosophies that help users have a deep, rich web experience. Others think it's a new collection of technology that increases accessibility for everyone. Still others think it's all hype and it means nothing...

Many simply disappear with their winnings and are never heard of again. Others return with new ideas and new companies. Why? Partly because that’s the only thing they know how to do — and partly because they want to prove that they weren’t just fortunate, they were good. And that’s the challenge facing this latest crop of success stories, too. How they fare remains to be seen.

  • Web 2.0 is the business revolution in the computer industry caused by the move to the internet as platform, and an attempt to understand the rules for success on that new platform. Chief among those rules is this: Build applications that harness network effects to get better the more people use them. (This is what I've elsewhere called "harnessing collective intelligence.")

      I really love this abbreviated definition of Web 2.0.  Lately, I've been thinking about how my own patterns of technology use have changed over the past five years and how dependent (addicted?) I've become on the internet.  My students are, too, so I think the best thing to do is to find ways to use the internet as a "platform" for learning rather than resisting it (tonk, tonk!) - thinking it through from a critical perspective before implementing, of course!

      I like that you highlighted "Don't fight the Internet" because I have a colleague who received a paper from a student that tried to "argue" that "we" should get rid of the internet and focus on keeping out post offices open. The concept of getting rid of the inernet was ridiculous not only because so many people depend on it (can you imagine), but also logistically. You'd have to cut power to the whole world (I asked if the student had ever seen the Terminator series). I do agree though-it's a wonderful platform for thinking and learning.

      It's ridiculous to want to fight the internet. We have read a lot of articles in this class published by people who were clearly conflicted during the advent of mainstream internet. It's scary to think that something could come out and completely change the way we do everything. It's important to remember, however, that throughout history, changes like this have occurred. There's no use in fighting it.

  • Sometimes called the "New Internet" as well as "Internet 2.0," Web 2.0 is not a specific technology; rather, it refers to two major paradigm shifts. The one most often touted is "user-generated content," which relates more to individuals. The second, which is equally significant, but more related to business, is "cloud computing."

      This makes me think about writing, specifically about the articles that we have read that focus on using technology to make writing a "safe space."  In my opinion, the authors of each article we have read, specifically the Hawisher and Selfe, Selfe and Selfe, Selfe by herself, and the Ohmann article all talked about how technology can either connect or divide groups of people, depending on how we use it within the classroom.  Our country has had a history with prejudice among races, religions, genders, and sexualities.  If used appropriately, technology can create an environment that fosters acceptance.  In my 6th grade class, students are being to notice their differences and are starting to feel uncomfortable in their own skin.  They are afraid of judgement by their peers, whether physically or academically.  I know that being able to publish their papers and have an anonymous reader give them feedback would greatly impact their level of writing. Also, on the issue of publishing--who doesn't want to be published.  There is a lot of honor in having something published.  Publishing, which seems so unaccessible, has become a more obtainable thing with the onset of the internet. Blogs and wikis make information and idea sharing more readily accessible.  I've used blogs to obtain all kinds of information ranging from decorating tips to delightful baking treats.  This, too, has connected us a nation, and even a world.  Everything is literally at our finger tips.  It is easy to say (or type) about how you feel, what your ideas are, or how you see that world.  You always have a voice, which is extremely important in a writing class.
