As I had to leave early when this topic was introduced and I am in the mood to keep on learning everything related to digital technologies; I decided to do some research on Web 2.0.
According to Tim O'Reilly (2003):
"Web 2.0 is the network as platform, spanning all connected devices; Web 2.0 applications are those that make the most of the intrinsic advantages of that platform:
- delivering software as a continually-updated service that gets better the more people use it,
- consuming and remixing data from multiple sources, including individual users, while providing their own data and services in a form that allows remixing by others,
- creating network effects through an "architecture of participation," and going beyond the page metaphor of Web 1.0 to deliver rich user experiences."
We are not supposed to know or to use all the new digital tools, the idea is to make use of the Web as a Platform where you can control your own data and not only by publishing it in websites but by participating as well (as we are intended to do when posting something and then commenting on another classmate´s blog, for instance). Some examples of websites that belong to the Web 2.0 era are: Google, Wikipedia,YouTube,Flickr and the one we are using Blogger.
When it comes to Education, Web 2.0 is absolutely necessary since students now work collaborativelly and they are sharing information all the time. If you want to know more about how Education is now seen by using Web 2.0, I recommend you to watch this link: Web 2.0 For Education.
A really interesting webpage is OEDb (Open Education Database) where you can find almost any Web 2.0 teaching tool and its use in Education. There are classroom tools and collaborating tools. The former includes resources such as Teacher Planet in which you can download lesson plans and the latter includes pages like Emodo which is used to share content not only between colleagues but with students as well.

What an interesting research on Web 2.0! I agree with the fact that Blogger is an important tool to share ideas and comments between our classmates, among many others. It is nice and really fun that we can communicate in this way. See you!
