What is Web 2.0?
Web 2.0 encompasses a range of emerging web-based applications
that are, more than anything else, about conversation. Most often
listed are blogging, podcasting, and wikis along with other more
specific tools such as VoiceThread. They are each about content
building, but each also has the ability to discuss or converse embedded
in the application.
These conversations about the content are subterranean, meaning
that you often do not know who the conversant is, and almost never
work face to face. As a result, people participate/collaborate with
each other without the baggage of position in the class, perceived
biases, or other prejudices. It is empowering to the learner, because it
gives voice to what they are learning.
