3. What is Web 2.0?
Web 2.0 is a neologism that signifies the transformation
from the “read web to the “read-write” web.
“the Web was shifting from being a medium, in which information
was transmitted and consumed, into being a platform, in which
content was created, shared, remixed, repurposed, and passed
along.”
Web 2.0 works as a customizable network system to link
users to information and each other
Web 2.0 is not just a technological revolution, but also a
social revolution!

7. Implications for Educators
Institutions of higher education must learn to
incorporate Web 2.0 applications in a positive and
educational way.
Educators must be flexible and creative in their use of
technology in the classroom.
Educators must embrace a two-way exchange between
themselves and students, realizing they will potentially
learn as much as they teach.
Educators must never stop learning.
This used to be in regards to their content area.
Now, this statement also applies to exchanging information using
Web 2.0.

Click on graphic or video camera to watch video introduction.
There is a current paradigm shift regarding everything that is web-based.
Students are used to multi-tasking with technology. They expect to be stimulated in this manner. They also view their opinions and knowledge as important & desire to exchange their information with others.
This list is not conclusive. For example, the collaborative learning presentation included information on simulations.
Click on “Blogs in Plain English” to play a video that explains blogs. The same for “RSS in Plain English”
Graphic shows who (student or instructor) uses blogs, how (reading or writing), and for what purpose (rest of the net, students, instructors, or self).
Watch 4 minute video on how to use wikis by clicking on “Wiki in Plain English” link.
If there is time remaining, have participants work on the 23 Things to Do, create a wiki, or other Web 2.0 project.
Jigsaw remaining topics: Break class into groups & have each one explore the links. They can search & find other info if they desire. Then, each link will be pulled up, and the group will present what they learned.
