WEB 2.0

Just  as I was getting used to web 1.0 ,  then web 2.0 came along.

Web 2.0 is the term given to describe a second generation of the world wide web that is focused on the ability for people to collaborate and share information online.  Web 2.0 basically refers to the transition from the static HTML web pages to a more dynamic web that is more organised and is based on serving web applications to users. Other improved function of web 2.0 includes open communication with an emphasis on web-based communities of users, and more open sharing of information. Over time web 2.0 has been used more as a marketing term than a computer science based term.

Blogs, wikis and web services are all seen as components of Web 2.0. This can be utilised very well into education as it allows sharing between students and teachers.
