What is web 1.0 ?
• Typically, it’s when you went into Google, typed
‘web 2.0’ and read whatever information the
links offered.
• You can’t edit, add to, question or delete any of
the information you searched for.
It’s a “read-only web” or Passive-user web
as Berners-Lee suggested

Web 2.0 & Education
• "My vision of school/classroom 2.0 is, more than
anything else, about conversations. Traditional
schools involved teachers and textbooks delivering
information to students, and students reflecting
that information back. To better serve their future,
today’s classrooms should facilitate teaching and
learning as a conversation — two-way
conversations between teachers and learners,
conversations between learners and other
learners, conversations among teachers, and new
conversations between the classroom and the
home and between the school and its community."
David Warlick

• “Instead of a top-down, “sage on the stage”
approach to teaching, we are moving towards
a more constructivist, “guide on the side”
pedagogy which empowers students and
encourages them to take responsibility for,
and co-create, their learning experience.” By
Joshua Stern, Ph.D.

Web 3.0
• Web 3.0 is something called the Semantic Web, a
term coined by Tim Berners-Lee, the man who
invented the (first) World Wide Web. In essence,
the Semantic Web is a place where machines can
read Web pages much as we humans read them, a
place where search engines and software agents
can better troll the Net and find what we're looking
for. "It's a set of standards that turns the Web into
one big database," says Nova Spivack, CEO of Radar
Networks, one of the leading voices of this new-
age Internet.
It’s an act & react users web
