Web 2.0, the second generation of web design which allows and facilitates collaboration on the WWW. There has been an explosion of Web 2.0 tools since 2004 - some seem to be here for the long term, whilst others are fading away.
The term "cloud computing" seems to be the latest "piece of jargon" to describe using these tools - hence the title of this blog entry.
In schools we have been playing around with these tools for a while. There have been a number of reasons that have stalled this process - sites being blocked, suspicion of information being up "there" and security issues to name a few.
As a teacher, I can certainly see how this tools can be used with classes and could contribute greatly to teaching and learning.
Finding a way to use Web 2.0 tools in the classroom was one of the reasons to commit, 2011 to learning even more about Web 2.0 tools and working out a way to integrate them authentically into the classroom.
