WEB 2.0 IN EDUCATION
Increases user creativity and community while concurrently empowering user ownership of content
User-generated content leading to "collective intelligence" that benefits many
Collaborative in nature and features user-generated content
There are advantages that benefit educators
Web 2.0 addresses some basic frustrations that plague students and teachers
Frustrations with contrasting operating systems ( PC/Mac) and expensive software are just a couple of the issues
In contrast, Web based applications run smoothly on minimum system requirements
The backbone of the Internet is the common thread that allows for easy access to Web-based solutions that are accessible with a variety of browsers such as Internet Explorer, Safari, Chrome and Firefox.
