What is Web 2.0? - A Word Definition From the Webopedia Computer Dictionary - 0 views

  • 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.

      This visual represenation of Web 2.0 technologies offers much to discuss and think about.

      The defininition linked from Wikipedia is also helpful.

      the wheel itself has me thinking about how we compose in different genres and modes in the twenty-first century and how we can encourage our students to move in this direction as well.

      I really like this visual. With the emphasis on social networks, I am slightly surprised that the "social" portion of the wheel is not larger.

      I agree, but there is so much going on in the wheel, it's easy to get lost. I had a hard time selecting a good definition. Others focused more on the social aspect.The wheel is a good way to veer off in many directions.

      I like this visual. It really breaks down the categories of Web 2.0

      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.

      The concept of web as a participation platform is a big part of web 2.0, and also the teaching writing with technology classroom. The participatory culture is a huge part of integrating technology into the classroom.

    This Wikipedia page talks about Web 2.0, saying that Web 2.0 as we use it has to do with web applications that facilitate participatory info sharing, interoperability, and user-centered design

    This looks really cool, albeit off topic.
