The purpose of this wiki is to explore, explain and support non-traditional modes of publishing one's creations. In most cases, existing work and creations by others, using these same technologies, can also be used to support teaching and learning. These technologies fall under the broad definition of the "Read-Write-Web" or Web 2.0. There are hundreds of sites and services where you can create, modify and upload your own content, whatever it may be. (Designed for Connecticut College faculty and students.)
This blog is a companion piece to the Web 2.0 Expo run on May 14, 2007 at Wesleyan. At the expo we demonstrated various Web 2.0 technologies in action. As a resource for continued engagement, presenters in each of the areas created reference pages on this blog. The technologies covered include: Blogs, RSS feeds and readers, Wikis, Podcasting, Social bookmarking, Web-based Office Apps, Mash-ups, Content Management.
