Web 2.0 is a term often applied to a perceived ongoing transition of the World Wide Web from a collection of websites to a full-fledged computing platform serving web applications to end users. Ultimately Web 2.0 services are expected to replace desktop computing applications for many purposes.“ Wikipedia

“The significance of the shift to Web 2.0 for education is that it empowers teachers and learners to easily create and share their own content and resources”.

What is Web 2.0? GO2WEB20 – everything you ever wanted Web 2.0 Power

We (schools) have a moral obligation to have a discussion with our students about their internet footprint and what they are doing in their online environment will have a very real impact on their future ….. (Will Richardson, 2008)

Did you know that your future employers, partners, tertiary, friends, parents will google you?

TeacherTube is a video sharing website similar to, and based on, YouTube. It is designed to allow those in the educational industry, particularly teachers, to share educational resources.

"A wiki is a web application that allows users to add content, as on an Internet forum, but also allows anyone to edit the content. Wiki also refers to the collaborative software used to create such a website” Wikipedia

Podcasting, made from Apple's "iPod" and "broadcasting", is a method of publishing files to the Internet, allowing users to subscribe to a feed and receive new files automatically by subscription, usually at no cost. It first became popular in late 2004, used largely for audio files."

Wikipedia

Podcasting does not actually require an iPod. One can access podcasts via the web with almost any audio software and/or with most portable digital music players. Creating podcasts can be done using free software. Podcast files can be hosted using various, free online services.

Create a podcast in the classroom using software (Audacity or Garageband). You can record audio and add music.

Or you can create, find or share podcasts online at Podomatic.

Audacity is a digital audio editor application.

Just as you can add images up to the web you can also add video clips. There are a range of different sites to host video such as:

You can embed videos into your blog, wiki or website from sites such as You Tube and Google Video. All you need is the html code from the website that hosts your video which you then add to your blog, wiki or website.

A widget (Windows gadget) is an object (slide shows, glitter text, polls, counters, etc) that you can use to personalise your

wiki, blog or website.

You create the widgets at a site then copy the code and paste it onto your site.

If children or teachers have worked hard on a PowerPoint presentation in

class, there are places where these can be uploaded so that you can share them

with a wider audience.

RSS is everywhere. Have you seen these symbols?

"It is an alternative means of accessing the vast amount of information that now exists on the world wide web. Instead of the user browsing websites for information of interest, the information is sent directly to the user."
