Powerful Blending: Using WEB 2.0 to Create, Interact, and Assess
It’s all about users creating and sharing content effectively and easily!
A new age of publication and collaboration has started. Referred to as Web 2.0 and the Read/Write Web, WikiPedia defines this new environment as " a perceived transition of the World Wide Web from a collection of websites to a full-fledged computing platform serving web applications to end users. The proponents of this thinking expect that ultimately, Web 2.0 services will replace desktop computing applications for many purposes." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_2.0)
These resources introduce instructors to Web 2.0 and many of its available tools. They include WikiPedia, RSS, social bookmarks, feed aggregators, validation of online content, blogs, wikis, creative commons, audio tools, on-line collaborative tools, and social networks.
