  • 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."

  • 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!

  • 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.
