Web 2.0?

What is Web 2? Web 2.0 is the state, or means of being “connected” with the rest of the world, in an educational means in order to share, post, interact, contribute, obtain, gather, comment, on information. Information is “knowledge”. It is this new way “to inform and get informed” therefore, that is and will be the new method our new digital students learn. ( O'Reilly Media 2007) Web 2.0 is the tool for “e-learning” as Mr. O-Hear mentions. Blogs, wikis, and podcasting are just some of the software tools that are making this “connection” possible. (O'Hear, S. August 8. 2006) Our job as MTT or Technology Support Teachers is to inform, motivate, and train teachers to utilize, take advantage and integrate these wonderful “social software” to enhance and accelerate our digital students’ learning.
