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 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...

I really like that the first item is focused on the user writer.
-
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 lists and use them frequently to order my life and my writing, so a list-type definition of this nature helps simplify the Web 2.0 concept.

Image -specifically the words in orange- make me think of the teaching world because they all highlight issues in the field of rhet/comp right now.

What do the words in pink make you think?

I suppose teaching and my own learning. It gets more into the nitty gritty of it al? It brings in the New Media aspect of rhet/comp?

Like that it focuses on user generated content...as a writing teacher, students are "writing" as users.

Web 2.0 - definition from Wikipedia - 3 views

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).
