LECTURE 1: SO WHAT IS WEB 2.0?

Web 2.0 …

It is essentially an increasing range of software that supports a variety of technologies for open and collaborative communication, learning and creativity.

For instance, www.digitalchalkie.com is the ‘hub for                                                          all Austrlian Learning and Technology “Chalkies”‘, that is, an example of online discussions and collaborations through group blogs, wikis, webcasts etc.

Web 2.0 requires:

1. a platform                                   
2. social networking
3. read/write web
4. social software
5. gathering and sorting

 

IT BRINGS YOU WHAT YOU WANT… YOU ARE CREATING THE WORLD YOU WANT!!!
