Using Web 2.0 Tools in the Classroom



What is Web 2.0?
In the past, the internet was used as a source to research information. You could Google a topic and browse through the websites that came up, reading about that topic.

Web 1.0 was the "Read" Web - people used it to retrieve information

Web 2.0 is the "Read / Write" Web - now people are able to edit, share and collaborate!
This completely changes the Web from just reading about topics to actually taking part in creating the topic.
