Web 2.0

Web 2.0 is the social networking aspect of the Internet. The Internet has become a means of communication and connection, across the whole world. The communication stems more from the ability to communicate across continents and oceans instantly than from what people often think of as social networking websites. Web 2.0 is a description for the ability to share information and collaborate over the Internet. It has changed our lives and how we function. In the realm of education, it has opened up amazing opportunities for educators to collaborate, share ideas, and learn from each other. Students benefit when their teachers take these opportunities. Students can also benefit by interacting with people from other experiences and cultures. Educators should continue to look for ways to incorporate Web 2.0 in their careers and classrooms.
