| What is Web 2.0? |
What is Web 2.0?Web 2.0, a phrase coined by O'Reilly Media in 2004, refers to a perceived or proposed second generation of Web-based services—such as social networking sites, wikis, communication tools, and folksonomies—that emphasize online collaboration and sharing among users. O'Reilly Media, in collaboration with MediaLive International, used the phrase as a title for a series of conferences, and since 2004 some developers and marketers have adopted the catch-phrase. Its exact meaning remains open to debate, and some technology experts, notably Tim Berners Lee, have questioned whether the term has meaning.The last, compact definition of Web 2.0, according to Tim O'Reilly is this one: "Web 2.0 is the business revolution in the computer industry caused by the move to the internet as platform, and an attempt to understand the rules for success on that new platform. Chief among those rules is this: Build applications that harness network effects to get better the more people use them.". (from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web2.0) This definition in a streaming looks like this:
In this section we will investigate how several of these Web 2.0 applications can be implemented in a pedagogical context. |
