  2. What is Web 2.0? It's a story about community and collaboration on a scale never seen before. It's about the cosmic compendium of knowledge Wikipedia and the million-channel people's network YouTube and the online metropolis MySpace. It's about the many wresting power from the few and helping one another for nothing and how that will not only change the world, but also change the way the world changes. (Lev Grossman in 2006 TIME magazine Person of The Year (You)

  3. What is Web 2.0? It is the process of putting us into the web. Web 2.0 marks a fundamental change in how we use the Internet. Web 2.0 is the move toward a more social, collaborative, interactive and responsive web. It is a change in the philosophy of web companies and web developers, but more than that, Web 2.0 is a change in the philosophy of society as a whole. Web 2.0 marks a change in us as a society as well as the Internet as a technology. In the early days of the web, we used it as a tool. Today, we aren't just using the Internet as a tool -- we are becoming a part of it.

  4. What is Web 2.0? It is people connecting with other people. This has led us to a social web where we aren't just getting information dumped to us from a computer, but we are reaching out to connect with other people to hear what they have to say on a subject. We do this in the form of social media sites like blogs, social networks, and wikis. The common theme of each of these websites is human interaction. On blogs, we post comments. On social networks, we make friends. And, on wikis, we share information.

  5. What is Web 2.0? It is an easier and more interactive Internet. These Web 2.0 ideas of bringing the power of people into the Internet wouldn't be possible without the technology to support it. For the collective knowledge of people to be harnessed, websites must be easy enough to use that they don't stand in the way of people using the Internet to share their knowledge. It sounds simple, but it is not something that was possible until the last few years. And what it means is that websites can be more responsive -- more like desktop applications -- which means that they are easier to use.

  6. Web 1.0 & Web 2.0 Web 1.0 trends included worries over privacy concerns resulting in a one-way flow of information, through websites which contained "read-only" material. Now, during Web 2.0, the use of the Web can be characterized as the decentralization of website content, which is now generated from the "bottom-up”, with many users being contributors and producers of information, as well as the traditional consumers.

  7. Web 1.0 & Web 2.0 (O’Reilly, 2005)

  8. Web 2.0 and Education Web 2.0 calls for major shifts in the way education is provided for students. One of the biggest shifts is the fact that “education must be not only socially, but collaboratively constructed”*. This means that students, in a Web 2.0 classroom, are expected to collaborate with their peers. By making the shift to a Web 2.0 classroom, teachers are creating a more open atmosphere where students are expected to stay engaged and participate in the discussions and learning that is taking place around them. In fact, there are many ways for educators to use Web 2.0 technologies in their classrooms. * Will Richardson, in Blogs, Wikis, Podcasts, and Other Powerful Web Tools for Classrooms
