Welcome
Web 2.0 or “Web 2” is a fashionable expression that describes a new generation of websites. The term itself implies that the early internet should be thought of as “Web 1.0” – a first edition, or first version. It is argued that this initial version of the web was primarily for static information: material to be downloaded or delivered to the internet user. Web 2.0 is different, it is a more participatory, dynamic and social place. It is more about uploading, especially uploading for communication and collaboration.
This website describes Web 2.0 and its relevance to secondary education.
The menu to the right covers three areas:
